AI in 2026: Data Centers in Space & Future of AI Safety Beyond Earth

As artificial intelligence grows more powerful, so does the infrastructure required to train and operate it. The next frontier may not be another data center on Earth—but data centers in space.
From orbital computing infrastructure powered by continuous solar energy to increasingly capable AI systems operating with greater autonomy, the convergence of AI, space technology, and AI safety raises some of the most fascinating—and consequential—questions of the coming decade.
Join us for an interactive discussion exploring what it could mean to move large-scale AI infrastructure beyond Earth, why companies and researchers are considering space-based computing, and how safety and alignment become even more important as AI systems scale.

### What We Will Explore

• Why Data Centers in Space? The potential advantages and challenges of orbital computing, including energy, cooling, communications, launch costs, maintenance, and scalability.
• AI Infrastructure at Planetary Scale: How rapidly growing demand for compute could reshape where and how future AI systems are built.
• AI Safety & Alignment: What it means to develop increasingly capable AI systems that remain reliable, controllable, and aligned with human intentions.
• Autonomous AI Beyond Earth: How AI agents could operate spacecraft, satellites, robotic infrastructure, and eventually off-world computing systems.
• The Bigger Picture: What happens when advances in AI, robotics, energy, and space infrastructure begin reinforcing one another?

This meetup is for AI enthusiasts, engineers, developers, founders, researchers, space enthusiasts, and anyone curious about where computing is headed next. No specialized background in AI or aerospace is required.
Come ready to explore ambitious ideas, challenge assumptions, and discuss a future where some of the world's most powerful computers may no longer be on Earth.
Bring your questions, your predictions, and your skepticism—the future of AI may extend far beyond our planet.
