Elon Musk announced that SpaceX’s acquisition of xAI will enable the lowest‑cost AI compute to be run in space within a few years. He claimed that orbiting data centers could leverage unlimited solar power and avoid terrestrial constraints. Industry observers note that while the concept is technically possible, the engineering, launch costs, radiation protection, maintenance and regulatory hurdles make a three‑year rollout unlikely. The consensus is that space‑based AI compute remains a long‑term vision rather than an imminent reality. Leer más →

A satellite has used onboard AI to autonomously decide where and when to capture a scientific image, with no human input. The technology, called Dynamic Targeting, was tested by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and installed aboard a satellite built by Open Cosmos. Leer más →
