At CERN, AI will drive future discoveries

Every second, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produces 40 million particle collisions – far more data than any computer on Earth could ever store or analyse. So CERN scientists are letting AI make split-second decisions, in real time, about which of those collisions might contain the next big discovery. It’s one of many ways in which AI could transform particle physics work. As CERN plans a new, far more expensive collider to replace the LHC in the 2040s, physicists say AI won't just crunch…
