AI algorithm discovers FIFTY new exoplanets orbiting far-off stars

The first exoplanet was discovered in 1992 and nearly 30 years later, the feat has been accomplished by artificial intelligence (AI). Scientists developed a new machine-learning algorithm that uncovered 50 potential Martian worlds beyond our solar system. The technology is capable of separating real planets from fake ones in samples of thousands of candidates spotted by NASA telescope missions, such as TESS and Kepler. The team trained the AI to recognize exoplanets using a database of confirmed cosmic orbs and false positives shown in data.
