Imagine a astronaut in space using a powerful AI assistant without relying on Earth's internet. Sounds cool, right? Good news: this science fiction scenario is slowly becoming a reality!
Booz Allen Hamilton announced exciting news: they successfully deployed and ran a generative AI large language model (LLM) on the International Space Station. This model is considered the first LLM deployed in space, a major breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence.
Booz Allen Hamilton successfully deployed and ran a generative AI large language model (LLM) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab using Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)'s Spaceborne Computer-2.
The inspiration for this breakthrough came from the Wright brothers' first four flights over 120 years ago. Booz Allen and HPE collaborated to successfully upload this LLM to the ISS National Lab as part of a forward-looking payload experiment. After uploading, the team conducted four repeated experiments with new queries in the command window, all obtaining repeatable responses, like a modern-day "Wright Flyer" moment.
This LLM application was rapidly developed in just eight weeks, building on HPE and ISS's extensive infrastructure investments over the years. It plays a key role in providing remote data acquisition and retrieval, enhancing generation and helping personnel deployed at the edge of space effectively retrieve relevant information, accurately interpret it, and solve complex problems using natural language processing.
This proof of concept plays a crucial role in the deployment of artificial intelligence. Sending AI into space can help astronauts handle complex problems and access important information without relying on Earth's internet connection. Even more surprising, this space AI assistant was developed in just 8 weeks. It can not only function in space but also be applied to extreme environments on Earth. For example, in remote areas or disaster zones, this internet-independent AI system could be a lifesaver.
Booz Allen Hamilton is a veteran in the space field, having served government agencies for over 60 years. This AI deployment follows their philosophy: humans create AI, humans drive AI, and humans benefit from AI.
