How a rocket scientist turned entrepreneur created the “ChatGPT for Earth data” using transformers and satellite imagery

Poll Of the Week

What do you think about Nvidia’s pitch for “Sovereign AI”?

Nvidia is urging world governments to adopt “Sovereign AI” — national AI infrastructure built using its chips, software, and cloud partners. The idea is gaining traction among EU leaders, who are eager to reduce reliance on foreign tech ecosystems. But the approach also raises questions about vendor lock-in, autonomy, and what sovereignty really means in the age of AI.
