NASA to create a ChatGPT-like assistant
ChatGPT has changed the game and now even NASA has rolled up its sleeves to offer their version.
According to The Guardian, NASA is working on a system that will enable astronauts to perform maneuvers, carry out experiments, and perform other tasks with the help of a ChatGPT-like natural language interface.
NASA to offer their own ChatGPT
Speaking at an IEEE meeting on next-generation space communication, Dr. Larissa Suzuki stated, "The idea is to get to a point where we have conversational interactions with space vehicles and they also talking back to us on alerts, interesting findings they see in the solar system and beyond." It really is no longer science fiction." The idea is quite exciting and can bring much more than expected for human kind.
NASA wrote on a dedicated page requesting support from small businesses for Lunar Gateway that it would also require AI and machine learning technologies to manage various systems when it was idle. Science payload autonomy, data transmission priority, autonomous operations, and Gateway health management are just a few examples.
Suzuki, for instance, described a scenario in which the system would automatically address problems with data transmission, inefficiencies, and other kinds of digital outages. She stated, "We cannot send an engineer into space whenever a spacecraft stops working or its software breaks in some way."
