Explore the future of fast transient astronomy in this 30-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences as part of the FTSky program. Discover the rapidly evolving field of fast radio transients, including sources at galactic distances such as Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), magnetars, giant pulses from pulsars, and long-period radio transients, as well as cosmological sources like Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Learn about the latest developments in detection sensitivity, data processing techniques, and collaborative observation strategies across multiple wavelengths that are enhancing our ability to uncover and investigate these mysterious cosmic phenomena. Gain insights into current research areas including updates from fast transient surveys, radio and multi-wavelength follow-ups of repeating FRBs, FRB progenitors and theoretical understanding, host galaxies for FRBs, FRB cosmology, galactic transients, and improvements in detection algorithms and AI designs. Understand how the field is advancing through ongoing technological improvements and international collaboration efforts, particularly in the context of building a robust fast radio transient community aligned with global astronomical goals and fostering capacity building in AI-driven big data science.
