AI spots mysterious 'square structure' on the dwarf planet Ceres

Scientists may need to think twice when using artificial intelligence to help in the search for extraterrestrial life, a new study suggests. A Spanish team used an AI system that interpreted the shape of a triangle outside a square from a NASA image of a crater on the dwarf planet Ceres. Researchers then brought together 163 volunteers with no training in astronomy to describe what the saw on the image of the crater. While the AI detected a both a square and a triangle, the majority of humans only interpreted a square. But once the triangle was pointed out to the humans, the amount of people who said they could see it rose from 7 per cent to 56 per cent. This suggests the influence of AI could be strong on the human brain when interpreting alien characteristics on other planets, even when it's questionable they even exist.
