NASA and Google develop AI medical assistant for space missions.
NASA and Google are building an AI medical assistant to keep Mars-bound astronauts healthy
As space missions venture deeper into the cosmos and extend their duration, maintaining astronaut health becomes increasingly complex. The familiar safety nets of the International Space Station era—real-time communication with Houston, regular medical supply deliveries, and emergency evacuation options—may no longer be viable for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
This challenge has prompted NASA to develop more self-sufficient medical capabilities for space crews. In collaboration with Google, the agency is pioneering an AI-powered medical assistant designed to function when ground-based medical support isn't available.
The Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA) represents a significant step toward "Earth-independent" medical care. This sophisticated tool combines multiple communication modes—voice, text, and visual input—to help astronauts diagnose and treat medical issues during communication blackouts or when immediate Earth-based consultation isn't possible.
Built on Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, the system leverages both Google's proprietary models and third-party AI tools. The development operates under a comprehensive fixed-price agreement that covers cloud services, application infrastructure, and model training costs. Importantly, NASA retains ownership of the source code while benefiting from Google's advanced AI capabilities.
To validate the system's effectiveness, researchers tested CMO-DA across three common medical scenarios: ankle injuries, flank pain, and ear pain. A panel of three physicians, including one astronaut-physician, evaluated the AI's performance across critical medical competencies: initial assessment, patient history gathering, clinical reasoning, and treatment recommendations.
The results were encouraging. The AI demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy rates: 74% for flank pain scenarios, 80% for ear pain cases, and an impressive 88% for ankle injury assessments. These scores suggest the system could provide reliable medical guidance when human medical expertise isn't immediately accessible.
NASA's development approach is deliberately cautious and incremental. Future plans include integrating additional data sources, particularly readings from medical devices and sensors. A key advancement will be training the AI to become "situationally aware"—understanding the unique medical challenges of space environments, particularly the effects of microgravity on human physiology.
The implications extend beyond space exploration. While Google officials remain circumspect about pursuing regulatory approval for terrestrial medical applications, the potential for adapting this technology to Earth-based healthcare is evident. Remote medical consultations, emergency response situations, and underserved medical areas could all benefit from similar AI-assisted diagnostic tools.
The project represents more than just technological advancement; it embodies a fundamental shift in how space agencies approach crew safety and medical preparedness. As missions extend beyond the protective envelope of near-Earth operations, astronauts must become increasingly self-reliant for medical care.
This AI medical assistant could prove invaluable during critical mission phases when communication delays with Earth make real-time medical consultation impossible. On Mars missions, for instance, communication delays of up to 24 minutes each way would make traditional ground-based medical support impractical for urgent situations.
The collaboration between NASA and Google also demonstrates how public-private partnerships can accelerate innovation in space technology. By combining NASA's deep space medicine expertise with Google's AI capabilities, the project leverages the strengths of both organizations.
As the technology matures, it may revolutionize both space medicine and terrestrial healthcare delivery. The lessons learned from developing medical AI for the extreme environment of space could inform improvements in emergency medicine, rural healthcare, and situations where immediate physician consultation isn't available.
The CMO-DA project marks an important milestone in preparing for humanity's next great leap into deep space, ensuring that when astronauts journey to distant worlds, they'll carry sophisticated medical support systems capable of safeguarding their health throughout the mission.
Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake
In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.
One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.
Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.
Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Tesla shuts down Dojo supercomputer team, shifts to external AI partners.
Tesla shuts down Dojo, the AI training supercomputer that Musk said would be key to full self-driving
Tesla is disbanding its Dojo supercomputer team, ending its attempt to develop in-house chips for autonomous driving technology. Team lead Peter Bannon is departing, with remaining members reassigned to other projects. Around 20 former workers previously left to form AI startup DensityAI. This marks a major strategic shift for CEO Elon Musk, who had promoted Dojo since 2019 as central to Tesla's AI ambitions. Tesla will now rely more heavily on external partners like Nvidia and AMD for computing power, while focusing on its Cortex AI training system instead.

Former Googlers’ AI startup OpenArt now creates ‘brain rot’ videos in just one click
OpenArt's AI tool creates viral videos from text prompts despite copyright concerns.
AI-generated "brain rot" videos featuring bizarre characters like sharks in sneakers and ballerinas with cappuccino heads are captivating younger internet users. OpenArt, a startup founded by two former Google employees in 2022, is at the forefront of this trend with approximately 3 million monthly active users.
The company recently launched its "one-click story" feature in open beta, enabling users to transform a single sentence, script, or song into a complete one-minute video with narrative structure. This tool can create content ranging from lighthearted TikTok clips to serious explainer videos and music videos for YouTube, with potential advertising applications.
The feature offers three templates: Character Vlog, Music Video, or Explainer. Users begin by uploading character images and entering prompts, while uploaded songs trigger animations that align with lyrical themes. The platform integrates over 50 AI models, including DALLE-3, GPT, Imagen, Flux Kontext, and Stable Diffusion, giving users extensive creative options.
However, significant ethical concerns surround these tools. During testing, the Character Vlog option displayed potentially problematic characters like Pikachu, SpongeBob, and Super Mario, raising intellectual property infringement risks. Disney and Universal's June lawsuit against AI firm Midjourney highlights these concerns. Users creating infringing content may face video removal from social platforms and potential legal liability.
CEO Coco Mao acknowledges these challenges, stating that while their models typically reject copyrighted characters, some occasionally "slip" through. The company remains open to licensing discussions with major IP holders.
OpenArt distinguishes itself through character consistency maintenance, ensuring both visuals and narratives remain coherent throughout videos. Unlike competitors producing standalone clips requiring manual assembly, OpenArt creates immersive, consistent storytelling experiences.
Future developments include multi-character conversations and mobile app creation. The platform operates on a credit-based pricing system, with plans ranging from $14 monthly for basic access to $56 for unlimited usage. Having raised $5 million from Basis Set Ventures and DCM Ventures, OpenArt maintains positive cash flow and projects over $20 million in annual revenue.
