“…We are strongly supportive of public funding for SETI (including public-private partnerships) which will enable SETI to become a truly integral part of the academic enterprise and an interdisciplinary area of research, opening opportunities for training and sustaining the next generation of SETI scientists and engineers. It is apparent that there is a renewed interest in the community for technosignature searches, as evident by more than half a dozen articles which were submitted for consideration for the science decadal review (Haqq-Misra et al, 2019;Wright & Kipping, 2019;DeMarines et al, 2019;Lesyna, 2019;Wright, 2019a;Berea et al, 2019;Margot et al, 2019). To bolster the notion that biosignatures are inclusive of technosignatures, the early career community has included technosignatures in their list of potential biosignatures in their publication of the Astrobiology Primer V2.0 chapter 7 (Domagal-Goldman et al ( 2016)).…”

The discovery of the ubiquity of habitable extrasolar planets, combined with revolutionary advances in instrumentation and observational capabilities, have ushered in a renaissance in the millenia-old quest to answer our most profound question about the universe and our place within it − Are we alone? The Breakthrough Listen Initiative, announced in July 2015 as a 10-year 100M USD program, is the most comprehensive effort in history to quantify the distribution of advanced, technologically capable life in the universe. In this white paper, we outline the status of the on-going observing campaign with our primary observing facilities, as well as planned activities with these instruments over the next few years. We also list collaborative facilities which will conduct searches for technosignatures in either primary observing mode, or commensally. We highlight some of the novel analysis techniques we are bringing to bear on multi-petabyte data sets, including machine learning tools we are deploying to search for a broader range of technosignatures than was previously possible.
