AI & Particle Physics

Researchers are turning artificial intelligence loose on particle physics. They aren’t simply asking AI to comb through accelerator data to confirm existing theories. They’re asking AI to point the way toward theories that they’ve never imagined. By asking AI to flag anomalies in the data, researchers hope to find their way to “new physics” that extends the Standard Model. AI might not solve the mysteries of the universe outright, but it could change how we search for answers. -IEEE
