NASA Is Replacing Every Mention of 'AI' With 'Super Intelligence', and Its Own Staff Say It Will Confuse the World
A White House executive order has kicked off a four-phase rename inside one of the world's most-watched science agencies, with at least one technical update already flagged as a 'breaking change' for software researchers rely on.
Christina Koch and James Manyika on Earth as a lifeboat, AI in space, and whether we're alone
The NASA astronaut and Google's research chief talk through what she saw from orbit, why AI matters to future missions, and the advice she gives young explorers.
NASA and IBM Built a Free AI Model to Read 17 Years of Moon Data
The NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model is now available to any researcher, trained almost entirely on imagery from an orbiter that has been circling the moon since 2007.
NASA-Backed GeoAI Package Lets Researchers Run Satellite Analysis With a Few Lines of Python
A free, open-source tool aims to bring AI-driven mapping and satellite image analysis to scientists who have no machine-learning background, with funding from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey.
NASA Gives Pittsburgh Robotics Firm a Contract to Build Tinier, Tougher Robot Joints
HEBI Robotics just picked up a second NASA small-business contract. The goal: shrink the motors that move robot arms down to a size that fits inside a small satellite, without jacking up the price.
150 Years Old and Still Building Motors for Space Robots
Magmotor Technologies has been making custom electric motors since 1876. Now it plans to triple its workforce and revenue, with robotics leading the charge.
Nvidia chips are heading to the Moon on a robot rover
Lunar Outpost plans to run Nvidia Jetson processors on its next Moon rover, which could make them the first AI chips to operate on the lunar surface.
NASA Ran a Google AI Model Inside a Satellite. Here Is What It Found.
A small, efficient AI model analyzed real images from orbit and sent back plain-text descriptions instead of raw data. It could cut wildfire alerts from 90 minutes to near-instant.
AI Could Mistake Dead Rocks for Alien Life, New Research Warns
Scientists tested an AI on simulated lifeforms and fooled it every single time. That's a problem if we plan to use AI to hunt for microbes on Mars or in the clouds of Venus.
A Robot Named JOY Is Heading to the Space Station in 2027. Here Is Who Is Paying for Its Batteries.
Startup Icarus Robotics has picked KULR Technology Group to supply the power systems for its free-flying robot. The deal is small but the numbers behind it reveal just how expensive, and how promising, robotic labor in space could become.
