AI in Space: Policy Considerations

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and space are both popular subjects in the current policy climate. AI techniques are being applied to space datasets and accelerating progress in the satellite and space industry through natural language processing, machine vision and advanced analytics. The combination of AI and space could play an integral role in increasing global connectivity and closing the digital divide. AI space services face the same problems as terrestrial AI services. They are exposed to the same policy challenges when delivered through a fibre network as they are when transmitted wirelessly from a satellite.
