NASA Makes New Discovery With the Help of Google AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is creating a lot of excitement in technology circles, and every Silicon Valley company worth its salt is looking to use this emerging science to solve real-world problems. Google, a division of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), was one of the pioneers of the AI technique known as deep learning. Software models based on how neurons in the human brain work, called neural networks, attempt to re-create our ability to learn. By processing massive amounts of data, these systems begin to recognize patterns and detect differences. These models can then be applied to a variety of tasks.

Now, researchers from Google and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have revealed that, by using deep learning to analyze data from its Kepler Space Telescope, they've discovered previously unidentified planets in a distant solar system.
