NASA is asking people to explore Mars using images taken of the Red Planet by its Curiosity Rover and help to label rocks and other surface features. The project, known as AI4Mars, is designed to improve an artificial intelligence algorithm that will help future Martian rovers move across the planet's surface. The simulation was designed by a team from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a way to help future rovers spot potential obstacles and avoid getting stuck. That prompted a team at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to move to improve an artificial intelligence algorithm the rovers use to identify rocks and surface features. The best way to train an artificial intelligence algorithm is by having humans go through thousands of images and label certain features.
