 Welcome to the AI for Good Global Summit, and I'm delighted to be joined now by Dr. Vande Verma, who's with the robotic systems division of NASA JPL. Welcome. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. So why would NASA be interested in this global summit here? Partly, you know, the next mission that we're doing, the Mars Sample Return Mission, is a global collaboration between NASA and ESA. So we really value the international partnerships. In addition, we're increasingly deploying AI capabilities on our missions, and so we go to conferences and events where we're having a dialogue because we provide information on these challenges where we can advance these capabilities. And so as you've been wondering around giving speeches and on panels, how does AI fit into NASA JPL? So in a lot of ways, we are sort of a perfect setting for capabilities that don't require a lot of human intervention. We've got a lot of robots that we've deployed on Mars. They're so far away that it takes just a one-way lifetime signal, up to 24 minutes to get there. So mostly the robots have to be autonomous, and the AI techniques that are advancing are making it possible for us to do a lot lower frequency requiring human intervention, and so we're utilizing that in a lot of ways. Of course, we talk a lot about the sustainable development goals, the SDGs. What can AI, powered robotics in your field of space, of course, do to contribute to that? You know, it's very well aligned, I think, with a lot of the United Nations' sustainable development goals. And one of the ways is, one of NASA's missions is to explore, discover, and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity. And I think that really is very well aligned and it advances a lot of the other goals because if you have this knowledge and you know how you can utilize it, it's, I think, very well aligned with the goals. In your area, you're thinking always 10, 15 years ahead. So what are the most exciting developments in terms of AI in your field of space right now? We'll be going, you know, 15 years ago, wow, this is something that you're thinking about now. It's really, we're at this cusp where AI technology is able to address the uncertainty we see in the environments that we deploy robotics. And I think that really is a major shift. We are starting to, for example, we use autonomous navigation on our robots. And on previous missions, we'd use it when the humans just could not navigate because it's past the horizon we can see. But it's getting so good that we now use that even in situations where human could otherwise have controlled it because it's good and we trust it. So I think that's really been one of the exciting developments is its ability to handle a wide variety of situations and answer on me. Fantastic. Dr. Vandy Vimmer from NASA JPL, thank you very much for your time. Thank you. And we'll have much more coming up here on the AI for Good Global Summit. Stay with us. Thank you.
