Artificial intelligence is no longer limited to analyzing terrestrial data or developing digital technologies. Instead, he became part of one of the oldest and most mysterious scientific journeys: the search for extraterrestrial life. At the Allen Telescope Array observatory in Northern California, artificial intelligence systems have begun working on pointing telescopes and directly analyzing radio signals coming from space, while the researchers' role at this stage is limited to providing guidance and monitoring the results. This experiment relies on Nvidia's Holoscan platform, which the SETI Foundation and Breakthrough Listening Initiative use to process astronomical data as it arrives. The company states that processing capabilities reach 2.4 terabits per second, while the team was able to reduce tasks that previously took weeks to a few hours. Among the most notable preliminary results is the team's announcement of real-time artificial intelligence monitoring of a pulsar within the Crab Nebula, in what the team says is a first of its kind. The ambitions do not stop there, as work is underway to test open source models that can be run locally on the instruments, while studying the possibility of using future sensor technologies on the far side of the moon. Despite this technical progress, finding evidence confirming the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations remains unresolved. Since the first SETI experiments in 1960, the search for potential signals has continued without a confirmed detection until today.
