Scientists say AI is falling for 'alien hoaxes' too easily — and that's a problem for research
Researchers have spotted problems with AI pattern matching in science dataIt could mean false flags for signatures of life on other planetsAI can still be useful, but checks need to be built inOne of the ways AI can be most helpful is in trawling through masses of scientific data that human researchers don't have time to analyze, looking for patterns — but this use-case is now proving problematic when it comes to the search for life beyond our p…
Scientists from Michigan State University have concluded that modern artificial intelligence algorithms can exhibit alarming unpredictability when searching for traces of extraterrestrial biological systems. During an experiment, the researchers easily misled a specialized neural network: even minor edits to the source data caused the model to misinterpret them as reliable signs of living matter. The main objective of the study... The post Artif…
