Will the Direct-to-Device (D2D) market, now the next big thing for the communications sector, fundamentally change the satcom market by expanding connectivity options for customers while bringing significant value to communication providers?

Technological progress in spacecraft life extension, debris removal, space operations autonomy, and robotics will disrupt the traditional paradigm of spacecraft design, acquisition, launch, operations, and maintenance. A new generation of spacecraft designed specifically for In-space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) is leading this charge towards a new space economy.

While artificial intelligence (AI) has enhanced or enabled technologies that were previously not thought possible, its increased presence has also engendered growing concern, particularly in domains where the potential for harm is high. Can a set of definitions and best practices help policymakers gain the confidence to pursue the benefits of AI while also ensuring the AI-enabled future?
