The results of a new research published recently showed that there are new signals in space. However, the interesting part of this research was that it was assisted by artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is helping researchers look broadly in their search for extraterrestrial life. At the same time, artificial intelligence, which is trained to search for data from radio frequencies, recently detected interesting signals.
It discovered eight signals of interest that the classical algorithm missed.
The researchers noticed that the artificial intelligence they trained to detect radio frequencies detected 8 signals of interest. After that, the team started to investigate the signals and discovered that the signal was not repeated.
It was stated that the reason why the signal was not repeated could be “fluctuations in the radio frequency”. The research team also placed a signal processor on the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. It will be much easier to detect a different signal, as this signal processor, unlike the other, cleans up radio frequency fluctuations.
The detections of the new signal processor will perhaps be proof that humanity does not have technology alone in the galaxy. For this reason, researchers continue to investigate the signals they find.
