NASA officially appoints first AI chief to stay at the ‘forefront’ of technology


NASA is staying up-to-date as they officially appoint their first ever chief artificial intelligence officer.

A wide variety of AI tools are used by the team already and they say this benefits “humanity” as artificial intelligence is used for supporting missions, analyzing data to reveal trends and patterns, and within research. Other use cases of AI at NASA include using it to sift through Earth science imagery to identify areas of interest, as well as searching for data on planets outside the solar system from the James Webb Space Telescope.
