Innovative Approaches to Climate Change and AI Collaboration

What if the “hallucinations” we fear in generative AI are exactly what NASA needs to spot the next crisis 40 years early? In this episode, former Pentagon model‑fixer and pandemic data firefighter James Villarrubia explains how his skunk‑works team at NASA’s Convergent Aeronautics Solutions convinces large language models to dream thousands of future scenarios, then distills them to reveal the fragile linchpins of tomorrow’s air‑travel system . Alongside that mind‑bending workflow, he breaks down hidden biases baked into commercial LLMs, argues why government may need its own secure models, and shows how disciplined foresight beats reactive firefighting—whether you’re in the cockpit, the policy room, or the startup lab .
