Applicability of Artificial Intelligence in Space Activities

Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the era of advance technology development for various space activities. Artificial intelligence based technology can perform any complicated task automatically which is very important for space exploration. Its application in various fields of space activities such as data collection and analysing, information of outer space terrain, removal of space debris and space mission operations are worthwhile. Infact, leading space agencies of the world are incorporating artificial intelligence based technology to assist in their space activity programs. The application of artificial intelligence in space activities has certain loophole as evident in the space law instruments regarding the question of liability in case of repercussion of artificial intelligence based systems. The analysis of this paper is based on secondary sources, particularly articles publish in journals and newsletters. The paper outlines the scope of provisions of space law instruments governing the applicability of artificial intelligence in space exploration and the domain of artificial intelligence technology in space activities.
