Cosmic Horizons Conference: AI-Powered Insights Into the Universe

The recent revolution in AI is fundamentally changing how astronomers observe, explore, analyze and model astronomical data. The Cosmic Horizons conference aims to bring together researchers who are actively developing and applying AI/ML methods in astronomy. The conference will focus on:

• Recent advances at the intersection of AI and Astronomy and AI-powered progress towards understanding our cosmic origins, from cosmology to habitability.
• Methodologies to increase the trustworthiness, robustness, interpretability and efficiency of AI applications in astronomy.
• Preparation for the big-data challenges posed by next-generation observing facilities and approaches for analyzing high-dimensional data.

Conference participants will have opportunities to demonstrate AI-Astro packages in conjunction with the inaugural AI-in-Astronomy Bootcamp from May 5 to 9 at the University of Texas at Austin.

The conference is sponsored by CosmicAI, with support from the NSF Simons Foundation and the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences.
