AI-Enhanced Search for Repeating FRB 121102 Spurs Broader SETI Efforts

To the point

AI is being used to sift vast telescope data for repeating fast radio bursts such as FRB 121102 in the Breakthrough Listen program, led by Andrew Siemion and Yunfan Zhang, to detect patterns that do not look natural in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, while Avi Loeb cautions there is no proof of artificial origins and Seth Shostak suggests AI could broaden the search beyond radio.
