Searching for variations in fundamental constants provide an important
test of grand unification theories. Recent observations of quasars hint
at a possible spatial dependence of the fine structure constant. I will
describe new work aimed at making the first 1000 measurements of varying
fine structure constant over cosmological scales, using a new automated
AI method that enables a much large sample to be studied and also
removes any possible human bias in the results.
