​Dark matter remains one of the most compelling mysteries in HEP. This talk envisions using AI-driven analysis in collider detectors to probe 0.5 eV QCD axions from the local galactic halo, leveraging the luminous four-volume created at the interaction point of HEP colliders. Building on the 8.5σ tension between the leading hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to muon g-2 and the final Fermilab muon g-2 results (June 2025), Noah proposes a new “volume frontier” for HEP, where AI plays a central role in determining how dark matter couples to Standard Model vector bosons such as photons, gluons, and rho mesons.
