*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: AI in Astrophysics: How Machines Help Us Learn about the Universe<br>
*Lecturer*: Joanna Piotrowska-Karpov<br>
*Position*: Postdoctoral Fellow<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
Since its rise in popularity two decades ago, machine learning has become an inseparable part of both our daily lives and academia. Being constantly bombarded by exciting headlines, one might wonder whether artificial intelligence (AI) has found the theory of everything yet or how, if at all, it has impacted the way we study our universe. Is it useful? Or just fashionable? And will it make researchers obsolete? In this talk, we will demystify AI and discuss how it can help us perform cutting-edge research, offering pathways to new discovery in astrophysics (as well as why we astronomers may not be out of a job quite yet!)<br><br>
