Microsoft and NASA have teamed up to launch Earth Copilot, a new custom copilot built on the Azure OpenAI Service platform to help the space agency make sense of the more than 100 petabytes of data that it has collected from space.

NASA is teaming up with Microsoft to create an AI chatbot designed to make it easier to access and understand scientific data about the Earth. The tool, called Earth Copilot, will be able to answer questions about our planet by condensing NASA’s wide swath of geospatial information into easy-to-digest responses.

According to NASA, the agency is looking to "democratize data access" for the regular person to its humongous collection from its everyday orbit of the planet. Earth Copilot is first and foremost, an AI chatbot, and this means that it will process the data from NASA to more understandable information for the masses.

Proof of concept allows geospatial datasets to be conversationally queried Speculation over where Microsoft would take the Copilot brand next can now end thanks to the announcement of Earth Copilot in partnership with NASA.

Microsoft and NASA have teamed up on Earth Copilot, a software tool that uses AI to simplify the process of analyzing Earth science data.

Not everyone can make it to outer space, but Microsoft (MSFT) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration want to “democratize access” to the Earth’s scientific data.
