It is everywhere. And astrophysics is no exception with a steady increase in the number of research papers published either using or mentioning AI tools such as machine learning and deep learning. So in this video let's chat about what actually is AI - what can it do, what can it not do, because there’s a lot of misinformation out there, before we then chat about 4 ways that us astrophysicists use AI: i) classification of data, ii) finding weird things (anomaly detection), iii) inference of data, and iv) emulation of simulations. This is by no means an exhaustive list, I’m sure many of my colleagues are also using AI in other ways for the research, not to mention using well known tools like GitHub’s copilot to help them write code, or chatGPT to help them with inspiration when trying to summarise research papers or grant proposals into abstracts. AI has perhaps changed the way we work as astrophysicists, but has not yet changed astrophysics itself. The key word there though being *yet*, because with the pace of advancement of AI that we’re seeing, who knows what the next decade could bring! • Classify the shapes of galaxies in images from the brand new Euclid telescope to help train an AI deep learning algorithm - https://galaxyzoo.org/ • Check out Katie Bouman's TED talk explaining how the black hole image is made by the Event Horizon Telescope team: • How to take a picture of a black hole... • Smith Geach (2023) - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.03796 • Kembhavi Pattnaik (2022) - https://link.springer.com/article/10.... • Fotopoulou (2024) - https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.17316 • Huppenkothen et al.

I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. • • http://drbecky.uk.com • https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk
