Title A name given to the resource Unveiling the realm of AI governance in outer space and its importance in national space policy Subject The topic of the resource Artificial intelligence; Machine learning; Outer space; Regulation; Space objects Description An account of the resource This article explores the notable legal concerns that may arise from the growing utilisation of artificial intelligence and machine learning in outer space. Whether it is conducting space exploration, clearing orbital debris, or extracting resources from specific areas in space, these activities are becoming more popular. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a regulatory framework to ensure consistency and objective standards. In order for national space legislation to effectively address the challenges presented by activities involving robots with different levels of autonomy and numerous objectives, it is essential to appraise the nature of these challenges. The article aims to investigate the relationship between the Montreal Declaration for a Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence, 2017, and outer space laws and principles. It also examines the legal status of autonomous space objects, such as planetary rovers that are currently in operation or will be in the near future. Ultimately, the article highlights the importance of national space policy in addressing the appropriate regulation of artificial intelligence in outer space. In conclusion, this article has also discussed the potential effectiveness of utilising artificial intelligence-based methodologies and strategies to enhance current space policy. 2024 IAA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dey A.; Jagadanandan J.
