#2Curious, assuming such an signal is found, are there safety measures in place to isolate it from other systems in off chance it contains “alien malware” that attacks systems receiving it?

#3AI? What was the training data? Would seem a bit thin on the ground.

Couldn't you train it to find things that don't correlate to anything from a given dataset that also pattern to non-random/unnatural signal?

"To be sure, because they don’t have real signals from an extraterrestrial civilization, the researchers had to rely on simulated signals to train their models. The researchers note that this could lead to the AI system learning artifacts that aren’t there.
Still, Cherry Ng, one of the paper’s co-authors, points out the team has a good idea of what to look for.
“A classic example of human-generated technology from space that we have detected is the Voyager,” said Ng, who studies fast radio bursts and pulsars, and is currently affiliated with the French National Centre for Scientific Research, known as CNRS.
“Peter’s machine learning algorithm is able to generate these signals that the aliens may or may not have sent,” she said."

They just asked ChatGPT to look /s

I assume autocorrelation was the first thing they tried - don't really need an AI
