NASA is developing an artificial intelligence which will be used to help future mars rovers pilot themselves with less human input.. And they need YOUR help.
https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8689/nasas-mars-rover-drivers-need-your-help/

They need humans to classify objects in images taken by previous Mars rovers, then the images can be used to train the AI computer. Basically they want to know... Is that a rock, or is it sand? Kinda boring work really, but if a few thousand people do a few hundred images each, it starts adding up.
The project home page is here. Create an account and you'll be a Martian Geologist in no time. When Tesla `sends a rover, you'll be able to say you were a tiny part of it.

If you don't like Mars' dirt, this just is one part of a much larger project called zooniverse. They need your help to classify images of many different kinds of things. Choose your poison. Many people like classifying images of African animals on trail cameras, those projects get finished quickly but there's always another on the way. Transcribing centuries-old weather records is important. I spent a lot of time on an project where letters sent home from WWI soldiers were transcribed. I would do one or two letters every day for a year. Enjoyed every minute of it.
Classifying galaxies is my favorite, it's harder than most of the other projects.

ill label some stuff if im bored, thanks for showing this.
but is it really artificial intelligence if it relies on non-artificial intelligence to do most of the work?
I think a better term is a visual based adaptive control network

It uses our knowledge to learn how to do it itself.

As for me, robotic space exploration is closer to space colonization because there are many resources to be used in order to create suitable conditions for humans than for robots so there should be many launch company be responsible for the space industry.

The head of SpaceX recently proclaimed the independence of Mars from Earth. Elon Musk proclaims it a "free planet" on which its own laws will operate. If someone does not agree with the terms of use of the service, then they cannot use the global satellite Internet.

This is old news. Eight months old news. Eight months is not "recently".

Further more, it's not clear that Article 9 in the Starlink Terms of Service weren't some kind of joke.

International law applies in outer space per the International Space Treaty.

By the way, you spelled your vehicle's make incorrectly. It's spelled P-O-R-S-C-H-E.

You don't happen to have a father that worked at GM, do you?

Wow!

What are the chances that @cannon_gray and @Forrest White can't spell the make of the car they drive? And they misspell the same way?

Again, Gordon Johnson, it's spelled P-O-R-S-C-H-E.
