The NASA Flight Dynamics Research Facility, a project some officials have been pursuing for 25 years, will replace two smaller wind tunnels that are around 80 years old.

As with any powerful new technology, the potential for artificial intelligence to analyze large volumes of data and automate processes comes with a risk that it will be used for nefarious purposes.

There are countless uses for unmanned aerial vehicles across New York City including public safety and inspections, among others. Unfortunately, the devices remain far too strictly regulated to realize their full potential.

The world may see California largely as home to Silicon Valley and Hollywood, but it’s agriculture technology where the state can most clearly outshine our competitors.
