50 exoplanets discovered in deep space by advanced artificial intelligence

More than 4,000 exoplanets have been discovered so far by astronomers. Now, artificial intelligence has discovered an additional 50, thanks to old data from NASA. Researchers built the algorithm to comb through old data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, which was retired in October 2018. The AI was trained to look for signs of real exoplanets and false positives at a faster rate than previous methods. It can also be automated and improved without the researchers training it further.
