These were then shown actual images of new gravitational lenses, and it was able to analyze the distortions 10 million times faster than traditional methods. This is significant because while the traditional method weeks or a month just to analyze one lens using computer simulations and mathematical models, the same can be done by AI in less than half a second. The SLAC study isn't the first time researchers have turned to AI to study gravitational lensing. Previous works included having a neural network identify if an image showed gravitational lensing or not.
