Here is what we know about space-based AI ‌computing:WHAT ARE SPACE-BASED AI DATA CENTERS? If space-based AI computing is the future, SpaceX is the most ideally placed to operate AI-ready satellite clusters or facilitate the setting up of on-orbit computing. "It's a no-brainer building solar-power data ​centers in space ... the lowest-cost place to put AI will be space, and that will be true within two years, three at the ‌latest," Musk said at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this month. Part of the proceeds would go to funding the development of AI data center satellites, sources say. Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin has been working on technology for AI data centers in space, building on the Amazon founder's prediction that "giant gigawatt data centers" in orbit could beat the cost of their Earth-bound peers within 10 to 20 years by tapping uninterrupted ⁠solar power and radiating heat directly into space.
