Its all well and good to talk big about finding signs of life on Mars， but we alsoneed to know where to find. Getting to Mars is hard and theres a lot of work to do. Inone of the driest places on Earth， people have not seen rain for more than ten years.But life can be found there under the ground.

Mars has almost the same dry land3 as Earth， with one key difference. Throw4a stone on Earth， and it may land somewhere with life. But the history of life on Marsis a question. AI and machine learning can make it much less difficult to find life onMars. An international team of researchers5 has shown that with AI and machinelearning， the useful information can be found. It could be used to tell if there is lifeout there. It is the best chance to find life on Mars.

大談在火星上發(fā)現(xiàn)生命跡象是件好事，但我們也需要知道去哪里尋找。登上火星很難，而且有很多工作需要做到位。在地球上最干旱的地方之一，人們已經(jīng)十多年沒有看到下雨了，但是在地下可以找到生命。

火星的陸地和地球幾乎相同，但有一個(gè)關(guān)鍵的區(qū)別。在地球上扔一塊石頭，它可能會掉落在有生命的地方。但火星上的生命歷史人們并不確定。人工智能和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)可以大大降低在火星上尋找生命的難度。一個(gè)國際研究小組已經(jīng)表明，通過人工智能和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)，人們可以找到有用的信息，可以以此判斷那里是否有生命。這是在火星上發(fā)現(xiàn)生命的最好機(jī)會。
