ChatGPT shows promise in spacecraft operation test
A group of researchers has obtained promising results by verifying the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in complex tasks such as spacecraft operation. Researchers recently conducted a simulation to verify the effectiveness of large language models like ChatGPT. ChatGPT successfully operated a spacecraft in that simulation. As a result, the possibility of using artificial intelligence technology in automated space missions in the future has become stronger.
At the beginning of the study, ChatGPT was given a specific instruction. Then the model began to respond quickly and effectively to one situation after another. ChatGPT's capabilities were quite stable and reliable throughout the simulation test. The researchers believe that it has served as an effective laboratory for verifying the initial capabilities of artificial intelligence.
According to the researchers, the type of control system that needs to be created for spacecraft operation in the conventional way is time-consuming. In that case, it is possible to develop an effective system in a relatively short time using a large language-based model. According to experts, the use of artificial intelligence will not only benefit deep space missions, but it can also be effective in operating numerous satellites in Earth's orbit. At the same time, complex tasks such as collecting samples, analyzing data and assessing habitability on unknown planets can be completed more quickly.
Researchers have warned that various chatbots based on artificial intelligence technology are not yet suitable for application in real missions. In order to ensure that their use is safe and reliable in the future, there is a need to think deeply about ethics, regulation and security aspects now.
