FDL EUROPE | EARTH SYSTEMS LAB 2024 AI SOTA Showcase
A new frontier for AI
We’re celebrating the efforts of our 2024 AI research cycle by reflecting on what it takes to push the envelope in space research for Earth Systems.
AI is no-longer an academic curiosity. We’re now in the era where this transformative new tool is now making substantive contributions on how we can use space data to better understand and protect our planet. However, the shift from a cool demo to something we can trust requires a new level of rigor and engineering excellence.
Fortunately, we can learn from the very same principles that got humanity to the Moon and back safely to Earth. These stringent standards of engineering excellence are what we have been striving for at FDL Europe | ESL in partnership with ESA, LSA, Google Cloud, NVIDIA, Scan Computers, RSS-Hydro and Lux Provide.
