AI Algorithm Revolutionizes Search for Alien Life on Mars

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have developed an AI algorithm capable of detecting subtle differences in molecular patterns that indicate biological signals, even in samples hundreds of millions of years old, with 90% accuracy. The AI system could be embedded in sensors on robotic space explorers to detect signs of life on other planets, such as Mars and moons like Enceladus and Europa. The algorithm was trained using biotic and abiotic samples, successfully identifying both living and non-living substances. This method could be used to study ancient rocks on Earth and potentially confirm the presence of early life.
