AI agents接任SETI的艾伦望远镜阵列，扫描外星情报
对外星情报的搜索得到了AI的帮助。 在北加州的艾伦望远镜阵列上，AI agents现在可以引导望远镜并分析飞翔上传来的无线电信号。 研究人员目前仍在输入命令。
系统背后是Nvidia的霍洛斯坎平台，SETI研究所和突破听力公司利用该平台实时处理望远镜数据。 Nvidia 称硬件每秒可咀嚼2.4塔比特。 根据团队的说法，过去需要几周时间的工作现在可以在几个小时内结束。
一个早期的结果：团队称它利用AI实时检测到蟹状星云中的脉冲星，这是第一个。 Pulsars是发出定期信号的快速散射星系残余物，这使得它们成为信号探测的好试验案例。 团队现在想要测试开源，它可以在边缘局部运行，在月球的远侧对准未来的传感器。
AI agents是否真的会找到任何东西是任何人的猜测。 自1960年第一次SETI实验以来，研究人员一直在寻找来自外星情报的信号。 还没有人找到

AI agents take over at SETI's Allen Telescope Array, scanning for extraterrestrial intelligence
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is getting help from AI. At the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California, AI agents can now steer the telescope and analyze incoming radio signals on the fly. Researchers still type in their commands for now.
Behind the system is Nvidia's Holoscan platform, which the SETI Institute and Breakthrough Listen use to process telescope data in real time. Nvidia says the hardware can chew through up to 2.4 terabits per second. Work that used to take weeks can now wrap up in hours, according to the team.
One early result: the team says it detected a pulsar in the Crab Nebula in real time using AI, a first. Pulsars are fast-spinning stellar remnants that send out regular signals, which makes them good test cases for signal detection. The team now wants to test open-source that can run locally on the edge, with an eye toward future sensors on the far side of the Moon.
Whether the AI agents will actually find anything is anyone's guess. Researchers have been searching for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence since the first SETI experiment in 1960. No one has found any yet.
