Trust in Orbit: AI, Autonomy & Accountability in Space Systems

As spacecraft become increasingly automated, trust frameworks—technical, regulatory, and ethical—are becoming central to mission assurance. This panel explores how operators validate AI-driven decisions, prevent cascading faults, and maintain human oversight in high-tempo constellations. Speakers will examine emerging standards for explainability, fault-tree transparency, and behavior logging, along with their implications for defense and dual-use missions. Attendees will gain clarity on how the industry can balance autonomy with verifiable accountability in space.
