AI beyond ChatGPTGeneral Artificial Super-Intelligence:
Facts and FacadeThe focus of this talk is Big AI exploiting Large Language Models (LLMs), and grand ambition to build General Artificial Superhuman Intelligence (GASI). We’ll try to look behind the facade of sensationalist claims to understand the implications of Big AI and GASI for the human future – on Earth and in space.

Two years ago, her students designed two microgravity experiments, and she had the incredible opportunity to conduct those experiments aboard a ZeroG flight. This year, her students are taking on the exciting Project Hail Mary Challenge by designing a space station capable of generating 0.5g artificial gravity.
Students have also participated in several innovative STEM and space science projects this year:
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about an extraordinary educator who is transforming students’ lives through authentic space science and STEM experiences.
