A new study in cosmology found that AI can be useful for speeding up calculations. This can save time in research on the universe. However, the study also showed a limit. Because the AI relies on patterns it learned earlier, it may miss new physical clues. That means it can be fast, but it is not always good at finding something that does not fit what it already knows.
