A Sophisticated AI Bot Is Helping Astronomers Search For Extraterrestrial Life - Interesting Engineering

Yuri Milner released a mountain of data. NASA and associated universities have Everests, nay Olympus Monses, of data in comparison but there aren't enough eggheads to go around and pore over it. Enter Chris Young and his fancypants artificial intelligences, their mission, their methodology, and a bold new step in flushing out you-know-who from the great beyond. Closer to home Johnny Vatican, great name by the way, reckons Microscopic Organic Life Forms Likely Exist on the Ice Moon Enceladus based upon new analyses of data from the late and lamented Cassini spacecraft. With all these advancements, perhaps in the near future humans will be Looking For The Lights Of Alien Cities or ecumenopoleis, according to Richard Lovett. The search has begun in earnest, and perhaps it's a matter of time 'til we hear from other cities which never sleep. (CS)
