sooner than later the POT it intends to manufacture its spaceships without the design or manufacture of human beings. They look alien, but they are not made by an alien, but are authored by the Artificial intelligence.
With mechanisms similar to those used for al GPT or DALL-E chatNASA engineers are working on the development of a system in which more optimal spacecraft are designed than those achieved by the human mind.
The idea is to give you a fairly detailed description with which an Artificial Intelligence can offer options that work smoothly in the space environments that are outside our borders.
This type of technology is already being used for some auto parts of land motor vehicles. However, the optimization for a ship that will travel to space is much more complex. Therefore, it is necessary to have a much narrower margin of error in the development of the system.
The idea was born in the pandemic
The confidential He did an interview with an engineer behind this project that NASA is carrying out. The scientist says that the idea was born in the pandemic while they were watching science fiction movies. “I had a lot of free time and watched series like The Expanse,” Ryan McClelland told the aforementioned outlet.
“They have these huge structures in space and it made me think…we’re not going to get there the way we’re doing things now,” he added.
The engineer claims to have pushed Artificial Intelligence systems to the limit so that they could create optimal parts that work on a mission. Thus, the creations that were produced registered a 40% reduction in the weight of the usual ones and an aspect that McClelland himself qualifies as alien because of the strangeness.
The description has to be very specific and the system starts working with 30 or 40 iterations (repetitions in programming) per hour. The scientists in charge of the project will help with one or two iterations weekly.
“Human intuition still needs to be applied,” says the engineer. But the final design is the work of the machine. One of the next space probes that will be sent to Mars could go with some parts made with these mechanisms.
