AI in Commercial Space & Aviation

Eric Schmidt’s election as Chair of Caltech’s Board of Trustees isn’t just a leadership change—it’s a signal that AI is no longer just supporting space innovation; it’s leading it. With over $250 million in cumulative support to Caltech, including the Deep Synoptic Array and Schmidt Ocean Institute, Schmidt’s vision is embedding AI into the core of aerospace research. This isn’t about data analytics—it’s about AI co-designing the future of space systems. The real story? Private capital is now funding AI infrastructure at a scale that rivals government programs. What does this mean for commercial space startups and aviation AI developers? How do we ensure this innovation remains open and accessible? Share your take.
