SETI with the Square Kilometre Array: Wide-Sky Surveys, AI Filtering, and Cross-Referenced Signal Vetting
To the point
SKA will transform SETI by enabling wide two‑continent sky surveys that can detect unintentional radio leaks rather than only deliberate beacons, using AI and interferometry to quickly separate real alien signals from Earth noise and pinpoint their origins while piggybacking on existing surveys and cross‑checking with catalogs, so even if nothing is confirmed it advances astrobiology and data‑driven astronomy.
