New Azure OpenAI Service-based AI chatbot lets users interact with spaceborne data The tool democratizes access to more users, including students and academics Users can ask natural language questions and let AI source the data Microsoft and NASA have teamed up to launch Earth Copilot,

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.

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.
