FDL is an applied AI research accelerator

FDL applies AI technologies to science to push the frontiers of research and develop new tools to help solve some of the biggest challenges that humanity faces. These range from the effects of climate change to predicting space weather, from improving disaster response, to identifying meteorites that could hold the key to the history of our universe.

FDL is a public-private partnership with NASA in the USA and ESA in Europe. We bring together some of the brightest minds from space science, AI and the commercial sector and we’re excited and extremely grateful for the continued support from NASA HQ, NASA ARC, NASA MSFC, the SETI Institute and our commercial AI partners Google Cloud, IBM, Intel and NVIDIA. As well as our challenge partners Lockheed Martin, the Mayo Clinic, MIT Portugal, USGS, Planet and the Luxembourg Space Agency.

NASA provides funding for the FDL through a cooperative agreement with the SETI Institute.
