TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Executives discussing emerging space-based computing capabilities Sept. 20 called for stronger collaboration between policymakers and technology leaders to accelerate artificial intelligence\u2019s societal benefits.<\/p>

Rika Nakazawa, chief of commercial innovation at Japanese telecoms giant NTT, proposed tech providers use private forums to educate policymakers and industry players about AI advancements. <\/p>

This approach, she said during World Satellite Business Week in Paris, would avoid stirring up the misconceptions that often arise in public discussions about AI.<\/p>

Industry players engaged in these talks could provide real-time insights on key issues and platforms, according to Nakazawa, helping emerging AI gain better access to funding.<\/p>

\u201cSo thinking about this as a system design is critical,\u201d she added, \u201cand having forums where industry, policy and technology are all sitting at the table is also really key for us.\u201d<\/p>

She also highlighted the transformative role AI could play in addressing global challenges such as climate change, which demands real-time processing of data that can only be gained from the vantage of space.<\/p>

AI\u2019s expanding space role<\/strong><\/p>

Clint Crosier, director of aerospace and satellite at Amazon Web Services, told the conference how the cloud computing behemoth partnered with French geospatial analytics company Alteia in November to assess global infrastructure from space for the World Bank.<\/p>

Using AI-based prediction capabilities, he said the companies were able to provide the World Bank with a set of areas that need to be targeted for infrastructure improvements, particularly in underdeveloped nations, to help grow their economies.<\/p>

\u201cThe examples are just numerous about how you can use this technology in ways that we didn’t even really think of two or three years ago,\u201d Crosier said, \u201cand we\u2019ll see we’ll be using it ways two or three years from now that we didn\u2019t envision today.\u201d<\/p>

AWS set up a space-focused team last year<\/a> to explore ways to use generative AI, a major evolution using deep-learning models to answer questions and create content<\/a> based on patterns detected in massive datasets.<\/p>

\u201cWe are at the cusp of understanding the power of generative AI,\u201d according to Crosier.<\/p>

Adding more capability to orbit<\/strong><\/p>

Crosier said the increasing demand for advanced AI and machine learning (ML) tools across sectors such as environmental management, agriculture, healthcare, insurance and energy is driving a need for more computing power in orbit.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re going to be bringing down so much data,\u201d he said, \u201cit will be physically impossible for us as humans to organize the data,\u201d analyze, disseminate and \u201cmake real-time insights of the data without the use of AI ML.\u201d<\/p>

While the space industry once prioritized increasing image resolution from orbit, he said the focus has shifted to minimizing latency and enhancing real-time data processing capabilities.<\/p>

In a recent experiment using AWS cloud services and computing technology from Sweden\u2019s Unibap, he said a satellite from D-Orbit of Italy almost doubled available bandwidth by using AI to only send relevant hyperspectral data from orbit back to Earth.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
