Make Space for AI: Safeguarding the Final Frontier

Description:

AI has long been a critical tool in both space exploration and cybersecurity, from forming the foundation of safety-critical systems for aircrafts to powering spam and anomaly detection at scale. As we increasingly rely on AI tools and space-based systems for our everyday lives, ensuring their resilience becomes ever more vital. This panel will explore the benefits and risks of using AI technologies to make space infrastructure safe and protect critical systems both on Earth and beyond.
