United Kingdom, Nov. 6 -- Google has announced an ambitious new project aimed at scaling artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle challenges on an unprecedented level, Project Suncatcher.

This moonshot, part of the company's growing interest in space exploration, seeks to leverage the vast power of space to scale AI in ways that were once unimaginable.

At the heart of Project Suncatcher is the idea of an interconnected network of solar-powered satellites, each equipped with Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) AI chips.

Google has said these satellites will harness the Sun's power, facilitating computation in space that could unlock a new era of AI capabilities.

This research comes after Google's earlier ventures into revolutionary tec...
