AI mines Hubble archive, identifies ~1,300 previously unseen 'cosmic anomalies'

An AI system scanned Hubble Space Telescope archival images and flagged roughly 1,300 previously unseen 'cosmic oddities' — a task that would have taken human astronomers decades. Researchers say the result showcases how machine learning can boost scientific returns from legacy space datasets.

Kirby: AI 'tells you what you want to hear' as United presses AI into operations United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby acknowledged limits of AI, warning it can 'tell you what you want to hear', even as the carrier accelerates use of AI to boost operational efficiency across scheduling and mobile services. He framed the technology as a tool that needs careful oversight.

JPL used Anthropic’s Claude AI to map a 450‑m driving path for Perseverance on Mars Engineers at JPL successfully used Anthropic’s Claude AI to map a 450‑meter driving path for NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars. The demonstration applied a commercial AI model to planetary‑surface route planning and produced a navigable traverse mission planners can use for upcoming drives.
