AI and the 'next big thing' in astronomy

From Nine To Noon, 10:05 am today

Artificial intelligence is increasingly a part of our daily lives and the more we use it, the more conversations there are about whether we use it too much, even among scientists themselves.

Anna Scaife is a Professor of Radio Astronomy from the University of Manchester.

She's in New Zealand for a lecture series at the invitation of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand, Anna's talk is entitled 'How Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we do Astronomy - and why that's not necessarily a bad thing'. 

She joins Kathryn from Rakiura, Stewart Island to explain how AI could help astronomers solve one of the biggest scientific questions of all time.
