A NASA laboratory is working with Google, Intel and other industry heavyweights to launch applied AI technologies into space. The space agency's Frontier Development Lab is targeting four space applications that would use AI and machine learning technologies, including improved prediction of space weather and accelerating the discovery of exoplanets. The results of a public-private partnership to launch AI-based technologies will be announced at Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., on Aug. 16. The NASA lab also is working with the SETI Institute, the non-profit group searching for signs of life in the universe. SETI was an early adopter of data analytics, machine learning and signal detection technologies.
