ChatGPT’s artificial intelligence (AI) platform is said to have potential in Mars research, including the search for aliens. The question is, will an AI platform make things easier, or vice versa? Since its launch last November, ChatGPT has continued to gain traction for its ability to answer complex questions and even command poetry. According to SPACE, experts have also opened up about the possibility of using it to explore the Red Planet.
“It could be implemented, but there is a possibility of misinformation. Chat GPT is not 100 percent accurate and is prone to ‘hallucinations,’” said Said Ozcan, a Reader in Innovation and Technology Management at the University of Portsmouth. (Xanax) He is skeptical about the benefits of ChatGPT if there is not enough information to analyze. According to him, even though the process is longer, humans can still do a better job than ChatGPT. Similarly, Steve Ruff, Research Associate Professor at the School of Earth and Space Exploration, Arizona State University, said there are various interpretations of the data obtained from Mars.
However, shortly, Ruff thinks AI could be useful for rover operations, such as identifying observation targets and navigation without human intervention. Meanwhile, Nathalie Cabrol, director of the Carl Sagan Research Center at the SETI Institute said the use of artificial intelligence is not new.

However, Cabrol said that there are two sides to the use of AI. She gave the example of reviewing a scientific paper. As a researcher, she likes to put her ideas into a paper, which will later be reviewed. The problem is, he feels that if AI is used to review papers, the logic is wrong.
In addition, Amy Williams, an assistant professor of geology at the University of Florida, said she has used AI to prepare manuscripts for public discussions. “What organic molecules could the rovers find on Mars?” Williams said, “The response was enlightening because it provided me with a statement that I could describe as robust and appropriate for a conclusion that I could talk about in a public discussion about organic molecules on Mars.”
Artificial intelligence could accelerate the discovery of extraterrestrial life on Mars, according to a study led by Kimberley Warren Rhodes of the SETI Institute. Kimberly and a team of 50 international experts conducted the study in Chile’s Atacama Desert in South America. They conducted a 3 square kilometer ecological survey. They mapped the distribution of photosynthetic microbes and used techniques such as genetic sequencing and infrared spectroscopy. The aim was to find various markers of life called “biosignatures”.
This data was then combined with aerial images taken by drones to train machine learning models to predict which types of micro-macro habitats would be associated with biosignatures that might indicate life. When tested with untrained data, the resulting model was able to locate and detect up to 87.5% of biosignature features.
