While the search for alien life continues, researchers propose a new way of trying to communicate with aliens: ChatGPT and lasers.
Humanity has been searching for extraterrestrial life for decades and trying to communicate with potentially advanced civilizations beyond the stars. So far, the
and METI have been unsuccessful at finding intelligent life in the universe. Still, we're in the early days, and our efforts will ramp up as soon as new technological advances permit. It's not just about reaching planets where alien civilizations might thrive with the help of spaceships. It's also about communicating at massive distances using highly advanced methods.
Institute astronomer Franch Marchis and researcher Ignacio G. Lopez-Francois penned a proposal in Scientific American on using AI models to contact alien civilizations. The idea here is that a customized AI model would allow the alien to learn more about our civilization and planet, after first decoding and understanding said AI. 'This is a radical and potentially risky idea because unfriendly aliens could misuse this information,' the scientists say.
's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter can transmit data at up to 100 Mbps. The full-size Llama-3-70B model would reach the Moon in half an hour. The second is using a laser. The Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration can reach speeds of 622 Mbps. The same AI model would need just five minutes to reach the Moon. However, we'd need to send the AI well beyond the Moon. The researchers say that current interstellar communication technology speed would drop to 100 bits per second.
