NASA's Office of the Chief Science Data Officer (OCSDO) is advancing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities across all NASA science. At this town hall, the NASA team will discuss the intersection of open science principles and AI to enhance and scale scientific analysis, streamline processes, and foster collaboration across the diverse scientific disciplines. OCSDO recently initiated several activities focused on pioneering new approaches using AI for science. These efforts involve developing AI foundational models, establishing core computational infrastructure capabilities, and providing services essential for supporting AI projects. The town hall will provide an update on these initiatives, showcasing progress made and highlighting their role in NASA Science’s AI priorities. Additionally, it will spotlight strategic partnerships and training/outreach activities, underscoring their significance in the growth of AI capabilities within NASA’s scientific community. Furthermore, the town hall will offer insights into how communities can actively engage with these efforts, fostering a collaborative environment where diverse perspectives can move innovation forward. Attendees are invited to actively engage and contribute to discussions about the opportunities and challenges presented by AI for NASA science.
