NASA safely uses a wide variety of artificial intelligence tools to benefit humanity.

AI helps us support missions and research projects across the agency, analyze data to reveal trends and patterns, and develop systems capable of supporting spacecraft and aircraft autonomously.

AI Quick Facts:

1. NASA has been safely using artificial intelligence for decades to plan and schedule missions for planetary rovers, analyze satellite datasets, diagnose, and detect anomalies, and more.
2. AI tools used at NASA sometimes involve machine learning, which uses data and algorithms to train computers on making classifications, formulating predictions, or uncovering similarities or trends across large datasets.
3. AI tools can automate time-consuming processes like program and project reviews, allowing NASA to streamline decision making, save resources, and leverage the full potential of its workforce.
