NASA and Microsoft team up to create an Earth Copilot AI chatbot

• 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, 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.

In a blog post, Microsoft explained geospatial data is already complex, and additional data being continuously collected from new satellites is adding to this difficulty.
