NASA, IBM team up to develop AI-based models to spur new Earth discoveries

NASA and IBM have collaborated to develop artificial intelligence (AI) based models that will make it easier to mine vast datasets to advance scientific knowledge about Earth, and help the world to adapt to a changing environment. The joint work will apply AI foundation model technology to NASA's Earth-observing satellite data for the first time, NASA said in a statement. Foundation models are types of AI models that are trained on a broad set of unlabelled data, can be used for different tasks, and can apply information about one situation to another. "The beauty of foundation models is they can potentially be used for many downstream applications," said Rahul Ramachandran, a senior research scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. "Building these foundation models cannot be tackled by small teams; you need teams across different organisations to bring their different perspectives, resources, and skill sets," Ramachandran said in a statement. One project will train an IB

Biden to mark $20-bn IBM investment with Democrats in tough races

President Joe Biden is ready to celebrate a new USD 20 billion investment by IBM in New York's Hudson River Valley with two House Democrats running in competitive races in next month's critical mid-term elections. Biden is taking part in a Thursday afternoon announcement at the IBM facility in Poughkeepsie, New York. He is expected to hold out the company's plans as part of what the White House says is a manufacturing boom spurred by this summer's passage of a USD 280 billion legislative package intended to boost the US semiconductor industry and scientific research. Democrats facing tough mid-terms races have largely avoided appearing with Biden in the leadup to November's elections. But Biden, whose approval ratings remain underwater, will be joined by two House incumbents in competitive New York races who are bucking the trend: Reps. Sean Patrick Maloney and Pat Ryan.
