Most AI-and-work research centers high-income economies. But ~85% of workers are in low- and middle-income countries.

On the sidelines of #UNGA81, J-PAL + @schmidtsciences hosted a fireside chat to ask: what can actually be done, and by whom?

Google 前 CEO 挑戰 NASA 規格,打造「超越哈伯」的私人太空望遠鏡
* * 在 1 月 9 日的美國天文學會會議上,Google 前首席執行長艾瑞克·施密特(Eric Schmidt)及其妻子溫蒂·施密特(Wendy Schmidt)宣布,他們將透過其慈善機構施密特科學(Schmidt Sciences)支持一項創新的天文觀測計畫,旨在以更快、更經濟的方式建造大型天文望遠鏡。 這一計畫名為「艾瑞克與溫蒂·施密特天文觀測系統」,包括一個名為「藍石太空觀測站」(Lazuli Space Observatory)的私有太空望遠鏡,及三個創新的地面望遠鏡。藍石太空觀測站的主鏡直徑約為3米,將超越NASA的哈伯太空望遠鏡,整個項目的預算僅為數億美元,遠低於傳統的政府資助項目。 > 在 Instagram 查看這則貼文 > > Schmidt Sciences(@schmidtsciences)分享的貼文 施密特夫婦的目標是,在四年內使所有四個望遠鏡投入運行,這個時間表相比傳統天文設施的十年或更長的建設週期,顯得相當激進。施密特科學的天體物理學與太空研究所負責人阿爾皮塔·羅伊(Arpita Roy)表示,這是一項加速天文發現的實驗,並強調他們將接受更高的技術風險,但這些風險是經過深思熟慮的。 這些望遠鏡的設計將利用現有的高性能計算技術,並以模組化的方式進行設計,約80%的零部件將來自商業現貨,這樣可以大幅降低成本。施密特科學的執行董事皮特·克盧帕(Pete Klupar)表示,他們計劃在三年內完成建設,並以極低的價格實現目標。 藍石太空觀測站將成為第一個全規模的私有太空觀測站,設計用於快速反應觀測,目標是在請求後的90分鐘內捕捉圖像,並能夠持續追蹤目標長達12小時。這個系統的運行將遵循開放數據模型,觀測時間將向全球科學家開放,數據將流入公共數據庫,供全球分析使用。 * Google’s Former C.E.O.
