Houston, we have a podcast. Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center

Episode 424, AI at NASA. I'm Nillifer Ramji and I'll be your host today. On this podcast,

we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts, all to let you know what's going

on in the world of human spaceflight and more. Artificial intelligence or AI continues to be

a hot topic across several industries and communities of practice. As humanity continues to innovate,

the technology follows. And for decades and even centuries, that evolution has brought us to the

next big leap. Computing systems that can perform complex tasks normally done by

humans as it relates to human reasoning, decision-making, and creation of content. At NASA, AI helps

support missions and research projects, analyzes data to reveal trends and patterns, and develops systems

capable of supporting spacecraft autonomously.

With safety and security as a top priority, NASA researchers and scientists have been leveraging

artificial intelligence for decades. Most recently, they are looking at emerging AI and how

it can best serve missions. What this could mean is sifting through satellite imagery,

developing technology for autonomous vehicles, and searching for planets outside of our solar system

using our deep space telescopes to name some examples. The question remains, though,

how can NASA continue to adopt these emerging methodologies and work with industry to ensure that

advancement continue safely and securely?

Joining me today, we have Kevin Murphy, NASA's acting chief data and AI officer to tell us

about what that landscape looks like.

Let's get started.
