That dream will take some time to realize, but progress on NASA’s Mars rover Perseverance represents a promising step in that direction. For nearly three years, the rover mission has been testing artificial intelligence to hunt for minerals in rocks on the Red Planet, but this will be the first time that AI will be used on Mars to make…
