Will an #AI be the first to discover #alien life?

"Ma and his colleagues sifted through #BreakthroughListen observations of 820 stars, made using the 100-metre Robert C. Byrd Green Bank #Telescope. They built #MachineLearning software to analyse the data, which netted nearly three million #signals of interest but discarded most as Earth-based interference. Ma then manually reviewed around 20,000 signals and narrowed them down to 8 intriguing candidates."
