Artificial Intelligence Helps Astronomers Discover Secrets of the Universe

A new study has revealed that the first image captured of a black hole has been improved using artificial intelligence and is now two times sharper than before. AI has become essential for astronomers in processing the massive amount of data generated by increasingly powerful telescopes. Neural networks are used to classify galaxies and pick out patterns of faint galaxies. AI is also effective at detecting new exoplanets, predicting the signatures of new types of gravitational waves, and improving the organization of scientific papers on astronomy. The use of AI in astronomy will likely play a central role in future discoveries about the universe.
