Summary/Abstract: Ever since the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the space sector, there have been progressive changes that brought both benefits and risks. AI technologies have started to influence human rights and freedoms, relationships with public authorities and the private sector. Therefore, the use of AI involves legal obligations caused by the influence and consequences of the dependency on the specified technologies. This indicates the need to investigate the issue of the legal problems and risks of using AI in space activity to identify, describe and explain legal issues and dilemmas in general and in the space sector in particular. The author has formulated theoretical definitions in the defined area through the logical-semantic approach. The comparative method has allowed us to carry out a comparative analysis of the AI legal regulation in the space sector in the USA, China and the EU. The authors have gone into rethinking the issue of action, cause-effect relationship, legal personality in matters of prosecution for damage caused by autonomous space objects. As well as combining the existing space law and its state-oriented responsibility with the space activity of private players using autonomous objects.
