NASA, Microsoft Develop AI to Simplify Earth Science Data

NASA and Microsoft have unveiled Earth Copilot, a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to increase access to Earth-related scientific data. The AI-powered chatbot is intended to summarize NASA’s vast amount of geographical data in order to make complicated datasets easier to understand and provide users with easy access to answers. The application aims to close the gap between consumers who might not have technical competence and NASA’s extensive database by answering queries like how events affect the environment or how air quality changes.

To help the space agency make sense of the more than 100 petabytes of data it has gathered from orbit, Microsoft and NASA have partnered to introduce Earth Copilot, a new custom copilot built on the Azure OpenAI Service platform.

Microsoft clarified in a blog post that geospatial data is already complicated and that the ongoing collection of fresh satellite data is making it much more so.

Data Democratisation in Earth Science, the program is a component of NASA’s endeavour to increase data accessibility. The technological aspect of NASA’s database makes it difficult for many consumers to access, according to Tyler Bryson, Corporate Vice President for Health and Public Sector Industries at Microsoft. Specialized understanding of data types and geospatial analysis is frequently necessary to extract insights. Earth Copilot’s integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into NASA’s data repository speeds up the process of extracting insights from scientific data, making it more readily available in a matter of seconds.

The Testing and Integration process has NASA scientists and researchers currently testing Earth Copilot and assessing its performance. NASA intends to incorporate the tool into its Visualization, Exploration, and Data Analysis (VEDA) platform after this evaluation. Some of NASA’s databases are currently publicly accessible through VEDA, and Earth Copilot could make it easier for non-specialist users to use.

More scientists, students, and others will be able to access NASA’s data with the new Earth Copilot program, which will allow anyone to engage with it via natural language cues.

Earth Copilot is expected to transform how users interact with Earth science data by simplifying the process of analysis. The tool has been designed to answer complex questions, such as the effects of natural disasters or global events, using NASA’s comprehensive database. Its development aligns with the agency’s goal of enhancing public understanding of Earth’s systems and providing timely, accurate insights for decision-making.

Data can include ocean temperatures, land cover changes, atmospheric conditions, and more, according to Tyler Bryson, CVP for US Health & Public Sector Industries at Microsoft. However, figuring out technical interfaces, comprehending data formats, and grasping geospatial analysis can be very difficult.

Users will be able to ask queries such as “What was the impact of Hurricane Ian in Sanibel Island?” using the new Earth Copilot tool. or “What was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air quality in the United States?” and let AI retrieve the information for them.

Juan Carlos López, a former NASA engineer and current Azure Specialist at Microsoft, stated, “We’ve designed the system to handle complex queries and large datasets efficiently, ensuring that users can quickly find the information they need without getting bogged down by technical complexities.”

As a result of the effort, Microsoft and NASA have made spaceborne data more accessible to a wider range of people, including scholars and students.

In conclusion “the goal of this partnership was to use AI and cloud technologies to bring Earth’s insights to underserved communities where access to data can result in real improvements,” said Minh Nguyen, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft.
