Microsoft and NASA Partner to Simplify Access to Earth's Data with AI
The new AI tool, Earth Copilot, aims to make NASA's vast geospatial data more accessible through natural language queries.
- Earth Copilot is an AI chatbot developed by Microsoft and NASA to democratize access to over 100 petabytes of NASA's Earth-related data.
- The tool allows users to interact with complex geospatial data using plain language, making it easier for non-experts to gain insights.
- Currently available for testing by NASA scientists, Earth Copilot will eventually be integrated into NASA's VEDA platform for broader accessibility.
- The collaboration is part of NASA's Transform to Open Science initiative, which seeks to make scientific data more transparent and inclusive.
- Microsoft's Azure cloud platform powers Earth Copilot, enabling efficient handling of large datasets and complex queries.
