Physics (June 2018) -- These days, artificial intelligence (AI) drives many aspects of our lives. It powers Google and Facebook, and it’s even found a foothold in medicine to help doctors make diagnoses. But despite its budding ubiquity everywhere else, AI has been a hard sell in physics.

It took Huerta about a year to convince the rest of the collaboration that AI could speed up LIGO’s analysis of gravitational wave candidates.
