Autonomy for Mars
Lex Fridman asks Dava Newman about AI, autonomy and the fictional HAL 9000.
Lex Fridman asks Dava Newman about AI, autonomy and the fictional HAL 9000.
Newman says Mars missions will need autonomous systems because communication delays prevent continuous control from Earth.
Testing closer to home
She suggests testing technologies closer to Earth, including on the Moon, before relying on them farther away.

Newman compares exploration with earlier voyages in which crews had to rely on available resources and make decisions independently.
Asked about AI making mission decisions, she says systems are designed by people and describes a continuing role for humans in or near the mission.
AI for Earth
For current research, Newman emphasizes using AI and large datasets from space to study Earth and climate systems.
