In this talk, we explore the remarkable journey of a young, dynamic team at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) as they pioneer Artificial Intelligence solutions for both space and terrestrial applications. We delve into the unique challenges of deploying AI systems in orbit—from creating robust models that function in extreme conditions to ensuring reliable decision-making under stringent resource constraints.
On Earth, these innovations fuel breakthroughs in advanced computer vision—ushering in new standards for space exploration and satellite technology. We also highlight GYAAN, an outstanding AI Assistant that reaches millions of users including students in Bihar, demonstrating how ISRO’s AI-driven achievements directly contribute to India’s growth.
Throughout this session, we reveal the step-by-step innovation process—identifying mission-critical needs, deploying generative AI for research and development, and implementing health-monitoring solutions for space missions.. We examine the successes, lessons learned, and evolving strategies that will shape ISRO’s AI-driven future. This journey of experimentation, perseverance, and creative problem-solving offers invaluable insights for any organization looking to harness AI for impact on Earth and beyond.
