AI is a generic term for a number of different things. Most people these days seem to use it referring to LLMs and automated image or video generation. I don’t think either of those is likely to contribute a ton until they mature a lot more. Having said that, machine learning is already being used in a lot of these fields. For example, automated systems using machine learning are being used to find new information about variable stars from old stellar images. We’ve been taking pictures of the stars for more than a century. No human team could ever hope to go through all those images looking for changes in stars over all that time but a computer can.
Can advanced paternity recognition be helpful for spectrum analysis? Can it be used for closed loop control of the many variables inside a fusion reactor?
No idea on this one. This is a little too much on the engineering side of things. I geek out more on the theory side.
What do you think about 3i?
ATLAS/3i? I think it’s frankly amazing that we’ve detected three interstellar objects passing through our solar system in the last 8 years or so. Interstellar visitors must be extremely common for use to spot so many in such a short period of time.
