Harvard scientists are using AI to search for alien technology

A group of researchers has unveiled a new venture that will use AI to search for alien technology. The Galileo Project will use a network of telescopes and astronomical surveys to hunt for evidence of “extraterrestrial technological civilizations” (ETCs). AI will play a key role in the program. The team plans to develop algorithms that scan data from telescopes for alien artifacts.
