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.

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

Microsoft said the Earth Copilot AI chatbot enables users to interact with Nasa's data repository through plain language queries

Every day, NASA’s satellites orbit Earth, capturing a wealth of information that helps us understand our planet. From monitoring wildfires to tracking climate change, this vast trove of Earth Science data has the potential to drive scientific discoveries,

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.
