NASA wants humans back on the Moon in 2028. IBM’s new AI could help get them there
IBM is going to the Moon. Sort of. On Thursday, IBM announced the open-source release of the NASA-IBM Lunar Foundation Model, which may help scientists tap into decades’ worth of lunar data to generate actionable insights in preparation for mankind’s return to the moon. As explained in a press release provided to Fast Company , multitudes of instruments have monitored the Moon’s surface for…
IBM has announced the release of an open-source Lunar Foundation Model in collaboration with NASA. This new tool aims to aid the scientific community in analyzing decades of lunar data and preparing for human return to the Moon in 2028. The model will help researchers understand how the lunar surface is changing, identify potential resources, and locate hazardous geological features.
NASA's Artemis Program plans to land astronauts on the Moon in 2028, and the Lunar Foundation Model will provide a platform for global researchers to build upon. Kevin Murphy, NASA's chief science data officer, emphasized the importance of making data easier to explore and use. IBM Research Europe's Juan Bernabe-Moreno highlighted the tool's potential to help astronauts navigate the Moon more safely and identify hazards.
The open-source approach ensures that scientists have access to cutting-edge AI systems to accelerate progress in lunar exploration.
