SETI 引入 AI Agent 实时操控望远镜并分析信号
SETI 研究所与 Breakthrough Listen 在艾伦望远镜阵列部署基于 Nvidia Holoscan 的 AI Agent，实现实时控制望远镜与分析射电信号。该系统将原本需数周的数据处理缩短至数小时，并首次利用 AI 实时探测到蟹状星云脉冲星，未来计划测试边缘端开源模型以支持月球背面传感器。

AI agents take over at SETI's Allen Telescope Array, scanning for extraterrestrial intelligence
[Manuel Uth](https://the-decoder.com/author/manuel-uth/) Nov 3, 2026 The search for extraterrestrial intelligence is getting help from AI. At the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California, AI agents can now steer the telescope and analyze incoming radio signals on the fly. Researchers still type in their commands for now.
Behind the system is Nvidia's Holoscan platform, which the SETI Institute and Breakthrough Listen use to process telescope data in real time. Nvidia says the hardware can chew through up to 2.4 terabits per second. Work that used to take weeks can now wrap up in hours, according to the team.
One early result: the team says it detected a pulsar in the Crab Nebula in real time using AI, a first. Pulsars are fast-spinning stellar remnants that send out regular signals, which makes them good test cases for signal detection. The team now wants to test open-source that can run locally on the edge, with an eye toward future sensors on the far side of the Moon.
Whether the AI agents will actually find anything is anyone's guess. Researchers have been searching for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence since the first SETI experiment in 1960. No one has found any yet.
