Abstract
European Space Agency was established on 30 October 1980. It currently has twenty-three Member States, and its mission is to shape the development of the European space capability and to ensure that investment in space is continued in the direction of bringing benefits to European citizens and the world. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be seen as intelligence exhibited by machines that can observe, perceive and act upon their environment to maximise their chance of success at a given goal. AI can be an important and enabling technology for space missions, bringing added value for scientific return and for the efficiency of the mission itself. The most successful AI implementations are still rarely used in the space industry today, as the models developed within the neural network are not human-readable. Despite the challenges, there are examples where AI is successfully being demonstrated in the space sector through ESA's own activities. The fast-evolving field of space research and technology, AI, and the related applications are raising numerous doubts and debates while challenging the adequacy of traditional space law. There is a looming concern as to whether the legal framework is up to date to meet the challenges that may arise within the AI and space sector, and what can be done to meet those challenges accordingly and on time. Others also argue that, in addition to liability concerns, ensuring confidentiality and data protection are some of the more acute issues in the context of AI.

Title:Umetna inteligenca v vesolju : pregled Evropske vesoljske agencije in njena vloga v okolju umetne inteligence
Abstract:
Evropska vesoljska agencija (European Space Agency – ESA) je bila ustanovljena 30. oktobra 1980. Trenutno združuje triindvajset držav članic, njeno poslanstvo pa je oblikovanje razvoja evropskih vesoljskih zmogljivosti in zagotavljanje, da se naložbe v vesolje usmerjajo tako, da prinašajo koristi evropskim državljanom in svetu. Umetno inteligenco (UI) lahko razumemo kot inteligenco, ki jo izkazujejo stroji in ki lahko opazujejo, zaznavajo ter delujejo v svojem okolju, da maksimirajo verjetnost uspeha pri določenem cilju. UI je lahko pomembna in omogočitvena tehnologija za vesoljske misije, saj pripomore k povečanju znanstvenih rezultatov in k večji učinkovitosti same misije. Najuspešnejše izvedbe UI se v vesoljski industriji še vedno le redko uporabljajo, saj modeli, razviti znotraj nevronskih mrež, niso berljivi za ljudi. Kljub tem izzivom pa poznamo primere, v katerih ESA z lastnimi dejavnostmi uspešno dokazuje uporabo UI v vesoljskem sektorju. Hitro razvijajoče se področje vesoljskih raziskav in tehnologije, UI in z njimi povezane aplikacije odpirajo številne dvome ter razprave, hkrati pa postavljajo pod vprašaj ustreznost tradicionalnega vesoljskega prava. Prisotna je skrb, ali je pravni okvir dovolj posodobljen, da se lahko spoprime z izzivi, ki lahko nastanejo na področju UI in vesolja, ter kaj je treba storiti za ustrezno in pravočasno rešitev teh izzivov. Poleg vprašanj odgovornosti nekateri opozarjajo tudi, da sta zagotavljanje zaupnosti in varstvo podatkov med bolj perečimi temami v kontekstu UI.
