Massive datasets, like those in astronomy, are the lifeblood of AI innovation. The panel, led by researchers from the NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins, will discuss how AI is transforming astronomy to unlock new insights into the origins of our universe.
They will present visualizations showing state-of-the-art astronomical datasets built on flagship observations and supercomputing simulations of the Universe. They will discuss how these data can be used to develop novel AI methods that accelerate discovery, expanding the frontiers of AI within and beyond astronomy.
