What is the role of AI in space travel? Avi Loeb, Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation at Harvard University, explains how artificial intelligence could be designed to withstand long travel, and programmed to look for signs of life on extraterrestrial worlds. He also proposes that AI could 3D print things that we care about on Earth on other planets using the raw materials there. He compares this process to a dandelion sending its seeds out on the wind.
