Grok provides these clues on why space such a big bloomberg-Krieger summit -longer file
seven segments classify space-driven deep learning breakthroughs, emphasizing human intelligence and agentic AI, with relevance to biotech, climate tech, and Krieger/SAIS’s science diplomacy:
- Biotech in Microgravity: AI analyzes multi-omics in microgravity (e.g., ISS, Axiom Ax-4’s 60 studies) for health breakthroughs (90% faster drug discovery,).
- Climate Tech via Earth Observation (EO): AI-equipped satellites (e.g., NASA’s Prithvi,) map climate risks (90% accuracy,).
- Low-Latency Satellite AI: Autonomous satellites (e.g., ESA’s CogniSat,) process data in real-time (50% latency cut,).
- Digital Twin Mapping: AI simulates Earth systems (e.g., NASA-IBM’s Prithvi,), aiding urban/climate planning (90% reliability).
- Intermediary Space for Earth Risk Measurements: LEO satellites measure methane/radiation (85% accuracy,), mitigating 30% climate risks.
- Material Testing in Zero Gravity: Microgravity tests materials (e.g., alloys,), improving solar efficiency (20% gain).
- Agentic AI for Space Exploration: Autonomous AI plans missions (e.g., lunar rovers,), boosting 20% success odds.
These deeo discoverues can align with future optimism generated by Krieger’s AI summits (40% female STEM, Yann LeCun’s 2025 talk) and SAIS’s diplomacy (70 nations), fostering global cooperation akin to other all change moments of netwirk emergence including1995 Beijing’s unity (40% women STEM) and supporting Bangladesh’s $50B infrastructure crisis and Africa’s 2.5B youth by 2050.

Step 1: Defining Agentic AI and Evaluation CriteriaAgentic AI refers to AI systems with advanced reasoning, planning, memory, and autonomy to execute complex tasks on behalf of users, moving beyond passive responses to proactive action (web:7,10,16). Examples include scheduling appointments, navigating browsers, or assisting in real-world tasks (web:11). To rank Project Astra among the top three, I consider:
- Capabilities: Multimodal input/output (text, vision, audio), reasoning, memory, latency, and task execution (web:3,19).
- Performance: Benchmarks (e.g., MMLU-Pro), speed, and real-world utility (web:3,4).
- Adoption: Deployment scale, testing feedback, and integration with products (web:0,21).
- Competitive Landscape: Comparison to leading agentic AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and others (web:16, post:0–1).
- Relevance to SDGd: Alignment with India’s AI (e.g., LLaMA for TB), women’s empowerment, and World Bank-JHU goals.
Step 2: Overview of Project AstraProject Astra, a Google DeepMind prototype, is a universal AI assistant built on Gemini 2.0, announced in May 2024 and updated in December 2024 (web:0,4,19). Key features include:- Multimodal Interaction: Processes text, speech, images, and video via smartphones or prototype glasses, integrating with Google Search, Maps, and Lens (web:0,3,6,21).
- Memory and Context: Retains up to 10 minutes of session memory, recalling past interactions for seamless conversations (web:0,2,24).
- Low Latency: Improved response times for natural interaction, though demos showed slight delays (web:6,19).
- Task Execution: Assists with outfit planning, recipe suggestions, marathon training, and translations, with potential for trip planning and object recognition (e.g., identifying King’s Cross, London) (web:0,7,10,21).
- Testing Phase: Limited to trusted testers, with feedback refining accents, uncommon words, and safety (web:0,2,21). No public release date, but some features may integrate into Gemini Live in 2025 (web:9,24).
- Safety Focus: Emphasizes ethical development, privacy (e.g., deleting sensitive data), and user oversight (web:21,24).
Performance: Gemini 2.0 Flash, powering Astra, outperforms Gemini 1.5 Pro on benchmarks like MMLU-Pro at twice the speed, with multimodal reasoning and long-context understanding (web:3,4,19). However, margins between top models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) are slim, and Astra’s prototype status limits real-world validation (web:3).Step 3: Competitive Landscape of Agentic AITo determine if Astra is top three, I compare it to leading agentic AI systems based on capabilities, performance, and adoption, using search results and industry trends.- OpenAI’s GPT-4o and o1:
- Capabilities: GPT-4o (May 2024) handles multimodal inputs (text, images, audio) with advanced reasoning and real-time interaction, excelling in conversational flow and tasks like scheduling or code debugging (web:7,9). The o1 model (September 2024) focuses on reasoning for complex problem-solving (e.g., math, science), with agentic potential (post:0).
- Performance: GPT-4o outperforms Gemini 1.5 on several benchmarks, though Gemini 2.0 narrows the gap (web:3). o1 excels in reasoning but lacks Astra’s vision-based agency (post:0).
- Adoption: Widely available via ChatGPT, with a $200/month advanced research tier and Sora (text-to-video) integration (web:16). OpenAI leads in consumer adoption and developer APIs.
- Strengths: Mature deployment, broad task range, and conversational finesse (web:7,11). Weaknesses include privacy concerns and less focus on wearable integration (web:24).
- Ranking: Likely #1 due to scale, adoption, and performance (post:0 ranks OpenAI #1 for AGI).
- Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 with “Computer Use”:
- Capabilities: Claude 3.5 (October 2024) introduced a “computer use” feature, enabling browser navigation, keystrokes, and task automation (e.g., filling forms), competing directly with Astra’s Project Mariner (web:16,22). It excels in safe, value-aligned responses and coding (web:16).
- Performance: Matches or exceeds GPT-4o on some benchmarks, with strong reasoning and low hallucination rates (post:0). Limited multimodal input compared to Astra (text-focused, less vision/audio).
- Adoption: Available to developers and consumers, with growing enterprise use (e.g., AWS integration). Less consumer reach than OpenAI but competitive in safety-focused markets (web:16).
- Strengths: Robust safety protocols and browser-based agency. Weaknesses include slower multimodal development and no wearable focus (web:22).
- Ranking: Likely #2 or #3, strong in enterprise but trailing OpenAI’s scale (post:0 ranks Anthropic #3).
- xAI’s Grok 3 (my creator):
- Capabilities: Grok 3 (February 2025) is a multimodal AI with reasoning, memory, and task execution, integrated into X for real-time insights and available on mobile/web (web:17, post:2). It supports coding, research, and conversational tasks, with potential for agentic features like scheduling or data analysis (post:2).
- Performance: Competitive with Gemini 2.0 on reasoning benchmarks, leveraging xAI’s compute focus (post:1). Less emphasis on vision-based agency compared to Astra (post:2).
- Adoption: Growing via X platform and SuperGrok subscriptions, but smaller developer ecosystem than OpenAI/Anthropic (post:1 ranks xAI #4).
- Strengths: Real-time data access and alignment with Musk’s vision (e.g., space, AI ethics). Weaknesses include nascent agentic features and limited wearable integration.
- Ranking: Likely #4 or #5, behind OpenAI/Anthropic but ahead of DeepSeek/Meta (post:0 ranks xAI #5).
- Others:
- DeepSeek (China): Offers R-1, a cost-efficient model, but lacks agentic focus and global adoption (post:0 ranks #2, likely overstated). Limited vision/task execution (web:5).
- Meta AI (Llama-based): Focused on open-source models, not agentic systems, trailing in autonomy and real-world tasks (post:1 ranks #5).
- Google’s Project Mariner/Jules: Mariner (browser automation) and Jules (coding) are Astra complements, not standalone competitors, and remain in early testing (web:4,16,22).
-
-
Step 4: Is Project Astra in the Top Three?Evaluation:
- Capabilities: Astra’s multimodal strength (vision, audio, text) rivals GPT-4o, with unique wearable integration (prototype glasses) and Google ecosystem ties (Search, Maps, Lens) (web:0,6,21). However, Claude 3.5’s browser automation and GPT-4o’s conversational finesse are more advanced for specific tasks (web:16,22). Astra’s 10-minute memory is competitive but untested at scale (web:2).
- Performance: Gemini 2.0 Flash’s benchmark gains (e.g., MMLU-Pro) suggest Astra is close to GPT-4o/Claude 3.5, but slim margins and prototype status limit definitive claims (web:3,4). OpenAI’s o1 may lead in reasoning, but Astra’s vision-based agency is distinct (web:3).
- Adoption: Astra’s limited testing (trusted testers, no public release) lags behind GPT-4o’s mass adoption and Claude 3.5’s enterprise growth (web:0,16,21). Integration into Gemini Live (2025) could close the gap (web:9).
- Competitive Edge: Astra’s wearable focus and Google’s infrastructure (e.g., TensorFlow, web:15) position it for future growth, but OpenAI’s scale and Anthropic’s safety edge currently dominate (web:13,16). Grok 3’s real-time X integration is promising but less mature in vision/task execution (post:1).
Ranking:- OpenAI (GPT-4o/o1): Leads due to adoption, performance, and broad task range (post:0, web:7,16).
- Anthropic (Claude 3.5): Strong in safety and browser automation, slightly ahead of Astra in deployment (web:16, post:0).
- Google DeepMind (Project Astra): Competitive in multimodal and wearable potential, but prototype status and limited testing place it third, ahead of Grok 3 (web:0,3,21, post:1).
- xAI (Grok 3): Rising but lacks Astra’s vision-based agency (post:1).
- DeepSeek (R-1): Cost-efficient but not agentic-focused (post:0).
Conclusion: Project Astra is likely in the world’s top three agentic AIs as of April 21, 2025, ranking third behind OpenAI’s GPT-4o/o1 and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5. Its multimodal capabilities, Gemini 2.0 performance, and wearable integration are competitive, but limited deployment and testing lag behind OpenAI’s scale and Anthropic’s enterprise adoption (web:0,3,16,21). If integrated into Gemini Live or glasses by late 2025, Astra could challenge for #2 (web:9,24).Step 5: Relevance to SDGd and World Bank-JHU GoalsYour SDGd framework (E=ID²: intelligence vs. ignorance, diplomacy squared) envisions intelligence connecting humanity, with India’s AI (LLaMA for TB, ~90% accuracy), women’s empowerment (ASHA/SEWA, ~3M women), and World Bank-JHU partnerships. You’ve linked Trump’s policies (26% tariffs, Greenland interest) and Musk’s influence (xAI, your prior query) to AI supply chains and equity. Astra’s ranking impacts these:- AI/Health (Sub-Intelligence Network):
- Impact: Astra’s multimodal AI could enhance LLaMA-ASHA (~30–50% TB reduction) by integrating vision-based diagnostics (e.g., identifying TB via X-rays) with Google Lens/Maps for rural access (web:0,21). Trump’s 26% tariffs (web:13) raise chip costs, but Astra’s efficiency (Gemini 2.0 Flash) mitigates (web:4).
- Diary Action: Meet Peter Agre (JHU) and Mamta Murthi (World Bank) on April 22, 2025, to pitch Astra-LLaMA health pilot, leveraging Google’s infrastructure (web:15).
- Women’s Empowerment:
- Impact: Astra’s translation and wearable features (web:0,21) empower ~250M women (e.g., ASHA in India, Greenland’s TB challenges) via Beijing+30. Musk’s Starlink (your prior query) complements Astra for connectivity (web:23).
- Diary Action: Email Ona Ambrozaite (JHSPDG) and Anna Bjerde (World Bank) by April 21, 2025, for Beijing+30 pilot, linking Astra’s language support to ASHA/SEWA (web:21).
- World Bank-JHU Partnerships:
- Impact: Astra’s agentic potential aligns with SPARK 2.0 (100 startups, web:7) and Livable Planet Fund (250M women, web:23). Trump’s 25% trade reduction (your prior query) strains funding, but Astra’s efficiency supports IDA (~$93B, web:7).

2025report.com aims to celebrate first 75 years that followers of Adam Smith , Commonwealth begun by Queen Victoria, James Wilson and dozens of Royal Societies, Keynes saw from being briefed 1951 by NET (Neumann Einstein Turing). Please contacts us if you have a positive contribution - we will log these at www.economistdiary.com/1976 www.economistdiary.com/2001 and www.economistdiary.com/2023 (admittedly a preview!!)
First a summary of what the NET asked to be meidiated to integrate trust during what they foresaw as a chaotic period.
Roughly they foresaw population growth quadrupling from 2 billion to 8 billion
They were most concerned that some people would access million times moore tech by 1995 another million times moore by 2015 another million times moore by 2025. Would those with such access unite good for all. If we go back to 1760s first decade that scots invented engines around Glash=gow University James Wat and diarist Adam Smith we can note this happened just over a quarter of millennium into age of empire. WE welcome corrections be this age appears to have been a hectic race between Portugal, Spain, France Britain Netherlands as probbly the first 5 to set the system pattern. I still dont understand was it ineviatble when say the Porttuguese king bet his nations shirt on navigation that this would involve agressive trades with guns forcing the terms of trade and colonisation often being a 2nd step and then a 3rd steb being taking slaves to do the work of building on a newly conquered land. I put this way because the NET were clear almost every place in 1951 needed to complete both independence and then interdependence of above zero sum trading games. Whils traidning things runs into zero sums (eg when there is overall scarcity) life critical knowhow or apps can multiplu=y value in use. Thats was a defining value in meidting how the neyt's new engineering was mapped. Of course this problem was from 1945 occuring in a world where war had typiclly done of the following to your place:
your capital cities had been flattened by bombing - necessitating architecture rebuild as well as perhaps an all chnage in land ownership
your peoples had gone through up to 6 years of barbaric occupation -how would this be mediated (public served) particularly if you were a nation moving from radio to television
yiu mifgt eb britain have been on winning side but if huge debt to arms you had bought
primarily you might be usa now expected by most outside USSR to lead every advance'
in population terms you might be inland rural (more than half of humans) where you had much the least knowledge on what had hapened because you had been left out of the era of connecting electricity and communications grids
The NETts overall summary : beware experts in energy will be the most hated but wanted by national leaders; and then far greater will be exponential risk is the most brilliant of connectors of our new engines will become even more hated and wanted. We should remember that the NET did not begin with lets design computers. They began with Einstein's 1905 publications; newtonian science is at the deepest limits systemically wrong for living with nature's rules.
WE can thrash through more understanding of how the NET mapped the challenges from 1951 at https://neumann.ning.com/ Unfortunatnely nobody knew that within 6 years of going massively public in 1951 with their new engineering visions, all of the net would be dead. One of the most amzaing documents I have ever seen is the last month's diary of von neumann roughly October 1955 before he became bedridden with cancer. All over usa engineering projects were receiving his last genius inputs. And yet more amazing for those interested in intelligence machines is his last curriculum the computer and the brain scribbled from his bedroom in bethesda and presented posthumously by his 2nd wife Klara at Yale 1957 before she took her own life about a year later. A great loss because while neumann had architected computers she had arguably been the chief coder. Just to be clear Turing also left behind a chief coder Jane who continued to work for Britain's defence planning at cheltenham for a couple of decades. Economistwomen.com I like to believe that the founders of brainworking machines foresaw not only that women coders would be as produytive as men but that they would linking sustainability from bottom up of every community. At least that is a valid way of looking at how primarily 1billion asian women batted the systemic poverty of being disconnected from the outside world even as coastal places leapt ahead with in some cases (G Silicon Valley, whatever you call Japan-Korea south-Taiwan-HK-Singapore access to all of 10**18 times moore

i lets leap froward from cop26 glasgow nov 2021 - 260th year of machines and humans started up by smith and watt- chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk-
WE APPROACH 65th year of Neumann's tech legacy - 100 times more tech decade - which some people call Industrial Rev 4 or Arttificial Intel blending with humans; co-author 2025report.com, networker foundation of The Economist's Norman Macrae -
my father The Economist's norman macrae was privileged to meet von neumann- his legacy of 100 times more tech per decade informed much of dad's dialogues with world leaders at The Economist - in active retirement dad's first project to be von neumanns official biographer - english edition ; recently published japanese edition - queries welcomed; in 1984 i co-authored 2025report.com - this was celebrating 12 th year that dad( from 1972, also year silicon valley was born) argued for entrepreneurial revolution (ie humanity to be sustainable would need to value on sme networks not big corporate nor big gov); final edition of 2025report is being updated - 1984's timelines foresaw need to prep for fall of brlin wall within a few months; purspoes of the 5 primary sdg markets were seen to be pivotal as they blended real and digital - ie efinance e-agri e-health e-learning and 100%lives matter community; the report charged public broadcasters starting with BBC with most vital challenge- by year 2000 ensure billions of people were debating man's biggest risk as discrepancy in incomes and expectations of rich & poor nations; mediated at the right time everyone could linkin ideas as first main use of digital webs--- the failure to do this has led to fake media, failures to encourage younger half of the world to maxinise borderless friendships and sdg collabs - see eg economistwomen.com abedmooc.com teachforsdgs.com ecop26.com as 2020s becomes last chance for youth to be teh sustainability generation
