What is FDL?
FDL is an applied artificial intelligence research accelerator established to maximize new AI technologies and capacities emerging in academia and the private sector and apply them to challenges in the space sciences.
Commercial, international and academic partners, such as Nvidia, Intel, Google, IBM and Lockheed Martin, SpaceResources Luxembourg, USC MASCLE, KBRWyle, XPrize, Kx and Miso Technologies provide capital, expertise and vast compute resources necessary for rapid experimentation and iteration in data intensive areas.
FDL is hosted by the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California - in partnership with NASA Ames Research Center.
