Proof of concept allows geospatial datasets to be conversationally queried
Speculation over where Microsoft would take the Copilot brand next can now end thanks to the announcement of Earth Copilot in partnership with NASA.from the Hitchhiker's Guide in pursuit of the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, this AI implementation is instead designed to help users navigate the petabytes of data collected from Earth observation satellites.
Geospatial data is tricky to work with and currently accessible to only a limited number of scientists and researchers. This challenge is set to worsen as more data is generated from more satellites equipped with improved instruments.:"This issue isn't just a matter of convenience; it has real-world implications.
NASA is keen to make the data as accessible as possible, and to that end partnered with Microsoft to create a custom Copilot using the Azure OpenAI Service to make it easier for the general public to interact with the information. For instance, users could ask about the impact of Hurricane Ian on Sanibel Island, and the service would retrieve relevant datasets.
However, as with any generative AI service, a user needs to exercise caution. The platform is currently a proof of concept undergoing testing by NASA scientists and researchers. Microsoft wrote:"Any responsible deployment of AI technologies requires rigorous assessments to ensure the data and outputs cannot be misused.
