Summary
Zaid sits down with Will Marshall, the co-founder and CEO of Planet Labs, to break down how satellite data is becoming a critical layer of the AI economy. They discuss why AI models need real world data, how Planet’s imagery is being used by governments, agriculture companies, insurers, and defense agencies, and why the company believes space based data centers could eventually be cheaper than building them on Earth. Plus, Will explains Planet’s partnerships with Nvidia and Google, the growing geopolitical demand for Earth imaging, and why he believes AI and space are converging faster than most people realize.
