Artificial Intelligence in Space | StarTalk


actually this is the time of the show
where we go to cosmic queries Startalk
cosmic queries Chuck
oh he’s got him in his bath look at that
that was so awkward that was very clumsy
that was so clumsy okay
so cosmic queries are when we solicit
questions from our fan base before the
show we tell them what the topic is and
they knew it was gonna be up about
artificial intelligence yes and they’re
just gonna ask me questions about I’ve
not seen these but I have not seen the
quit if I don’t know the answer I’ll
just say I have no idea and then you ask
you for another one okay and that’s not
gonna happen
it is our first query is from Mason
Simpkins from Layton Utah all right and
Mason would like to know how could
artificial intelligence affect the
future of space exploration ooh who you
know would be cool for me it’s like we
were talking about with Bill you just
download your brain and all your
memories and all your capacity to
experience put that in some robot and
then send the robot off into space while
you on the Bahamas sipping a drink you
get to experience what that it bring it
back put it in and you get to speak
firsthand about that space about that
space trip and you don’t have to then
protect the human biological form from
deadly radiation from the absence of
oxygen because it’s just a machine from
it that for me that’d be the cool way to
invoke artificial intelligence in the
future that makes perfect sense
I like that answer and I thought and it
find me on the beach when you get back
see that’s the part I really like that’s
the part that I’m all about that makes
sense
okay oh wait one other thing go ahead so
there’s already a little bit of AI in
the robots we’ve got up there now so for
example the Rovers on Mars it takes like
many minutes to get that you know to go
the distance
depending on where Mars is in its orbit
relative it could be up to like 20
minutes a half-hour to get the signal
there so if the if the rover is ready to
drive off a cliff
it’d be too late if you driving the Rif
you driving the vehicle right because
you can say don’t go off the cliff 20
minutes later it gets there is off the
cliff right so it has to be able
have some sense of its environment like
that’s a cliff like the hits a cliff I’m
not driving off no matter what the human
is telling
