  In the next coming years, space activities are expected to undergo a radical
transformation with the emergence of new satellite systems or new services
which will incorporate the contributions of artificial intelligence and machine
learning defined as covering a wide range of innovations from autonomous
objects with their own decision-making power to increasingly sophisticated
services exploiting very large volumes of information from space. This chapter
identifies some of the legal and ethical challenges linked to its use. These
legal and ethical challenges call for solutions which the international
treaties in force are not sufficient to determine and implement. For this
reason, a legal methodology must be developed that makes it possible to link
intelligent systems and services to a system of rules applicable thereto. It
discusses existing legal AI-based tools amenable for making space law
actionable, interoperable and machine readable for future compliance tools.
