The Seminar provides an overview and general understanding of the use of AI and its related elements in space. The issue of state, company and individual responsibility in the various current and potential civil and military use cases will be considered from a legal and policy perspective. Factors affecting liability will also be considered.

Seminar Description:
Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), related elements of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) in civil and military space activities are increasingly investigated. Some forms are already employed. AI has potential to benefit the operation of large satellite constellations, robotic space exploration, satellite data analysis for Earth observation and astronomy and many more space activities.
This raises the important question of legal and political responsibility of involved actors at international, national and individual level. This Seminar aims to advance clarity regarding such responsibility among actors.
