Fascinating possibilities from microsatellites outlined at Delphi forum
Minister of Digital Governance Dimitris Papastergiou on Friday expounded on all the possibilities that low-orbit satellites offer.
“When there are floods, fires, various urban planning issues, the solution comes from above,” he said, speaking at the Delphi Economic Forum.
“With the microsatellite system, we will have information with enormous accuracy for all those who need it for civil protection, urban planning, for the beaches as regards the illegal use of beaches. A huge opportunity and a huge challenge for an engineer to explore parts he didn’t have in mind,” Papastergiou stressed.
The minister also referred to the AI digital assistant that began operating on December 12, saying that “every day people search and find solutions. More than five to six thousand questions every day, more than 650 thousand questions in total – if we extrapolate this to phone calls or e-mails to the government, we can understand how useful it is. We are continuing with many other such approaches to artificial intelligence in health, justice, etc.”
However, the minister pointed out that “the aim is not only to consume AI but also to produce artificial intelligence and this can be done with our own models and our own infrastructure, data centers and also the supercomputer.”
