CAN HUMANS DRINK PLANET MARS WATER
Mars, the red planet, may appear lifeless and dry at first glance, but scientists believe there was once a significant amount of water on its surface. Evidence of ancient river valley networks, lake beds, and specific minerals and rocks that can only form in liquid water suggest that Mars may have experienced massive floods 3.5 billion years ago. While the atmosphere on Mars is too thin for water to remain in its liquid form on the surface, there is still water to be found beneath the planet's surface, particularly in its polar regions and at the north polar ice cap. Occasionally, salty water flows down crater walls and hillsides, and there are trace amounts of water in the planet's atmosphere, albeit as vapor.

As AI develops rapidly, what is the future ethical cost?
The concerns surrounding AI include it amplifying potentially harmful biases and stereotypes, says a technology ethics expert. She says that 'ethical debt' can develop if we fail to consider the possible negative consequences or societal harms of AI. The only way to decrease ethical debt is to take the time to think ahead about things that might go wrong – but this is not something that technologists are necessarily taught to do, she adds.

These are the jobs that AI can’t replace
I’ve just asked ChatGPT this question: “What jobs will AI be unable to replace?” Within seconds it has whizzed out a 275-word answer. When I asked it to edit its answer down to under 50 words, it was a lot slower. A lot, lot slower.
