AI spots craters on the moon which could host future colony

Mankind's first home away from Earth may soon be located, thanks to the findings of an AI that can scour the moon to find new craters. Experts say that a future lunar base could be set up in one of the giant impact sites, protecting colonists from dangerous solar radiation. Now, a piece of computer software has been developed that was able to uncover almost 7,000 previously undiscovered craters in a matter of hours. The finding was made by a team of researchers led by Ari Silburt at Penn State University and Mohamad Ali-Dib at the University of Toronto. They fed 90,000 images of the moon's surface into an artificial neural network (ANN).
