Usually, the algorithm works with the loaded information, but Sentient can even direct satellites to obtain images of the objects it needs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed the way we analyze data and conduct scientific research across various fields, including astronomy, engineering, and archaeology. With the rapid evolution of AI systems, we have now reached a point where secretive AI programs are capable of “seeing” and...
