Pervasive Computing in Space

Imagine “astronauts working in a lunar habitat with Internet of Things devices.” In response to such simple prompt, within seconds generative AI rendered the image above, which enamored this issue's guest editors its fanciful, seemingly humorous depiction what appears be pair space-suited engineers engaged something like hackathon while sitting dust coffee cups nearby. Beyond being fun way kick off Special Issue on Pervasive Computing Space, underscores how quickly world-changing technology is now unleashed. Just last year or so, has moved beyond mastering niche applications and into popular use increasingly sophisticated chatbots image-generating environments that win art contests alongside humans. Regardless intensifying discussion sparks about machine creativity intelligence, become moving landscape. We do not know far ride will go where next roadblocks, always close-at-hand previous years, manifest.
