Using AI to Maintain and Manage Human Settlements in Space

Here on Earth, human settlements have thrived for so long due to two very important truths: we evolved on this planet and we survived by supporting each other. Our settlement history has not been perfect1. But as humans, our population vitality is a result of many individuals working to support the civilization in one large positive feedback loop of survival. The space-based human settlements of the future, however, will require advanced technology to continue this trend. Settlements on Mars, or even Earth's moon, Luna, will require human-machine teaming between the occupants of the settlement and artificial intelligence, or AI, to augment their skills and knowledge.
