'Artificial intelligence tech could prove alien life exists,' UFO experts claim

dailystar.co.uk:

UFO researchers believe that artificial intelligence will be able to identify whether flying objects are a bird or a plane...

or even something unknown to our planet.Avi Loeb, the chair of Harvard’s Department of Astronomy claims the human race will be able to determine if alien visitors walk among us with AI equipment that can track the correct data.

The author of Extraterrestrial plans to build 100 specialised telescopes equipped with wide-angle lenses, infrared technology, radio receivers and an audio system to help identify UFOs and monitor other planets under the Galileo Project.

The privately-funded project aims to “bring the search for extraterrestrial technological signatures of Extraterrestrial Technological Civilisations from accidental or anecdotal observations and legends into the mainstream of transparent, validated and systematic scientific research”.The tech will be used to search for physical objects, rather than radio signals like the long-running Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute and Leob claims they can use AI to identify whether objects are coming from Earth or alien neighbours.He told Sifted: "We will have an artificial intelligence system that will identify whether we are looking at a bird, a drone, an aeroplane or something else."Tzvi Weitzner, the Tel Aviv-based Timbr’s co-founder and chief strategy officer, has revealed that data scientists from his company are working on the algorithm for the project which would be identifying the objects.He said: “The use of AI to analyse images is widely known, but in Galileo’s case it is not as simple as training a machine-learning algorithm to identify objects, just because we don’t know what we are looking for, or, more exactly, we.
