商品描述

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has permeated our every-day lives. What once was solely a human task, has now been taken over by AI. May it be credit card approvals, customer support, financial transactions, medical imaging or software development, there is AI working behind the scenes.

Outer space, historically always amongst the most developed domains, has not remained untouched for long and space applications have started to increasingly rely on AI. However, this increase in use also leads to a myriad of legal issues, particularly the issue of responsibility and liability under Article VI and Article VII of the Outer Space Treaty and the Liability Convention. Our legal norms, may they be domestic or international in nature, are ultimately built around human behaviour and when applied to AI might not function. Should damage caused by an AI-enabled space object arise, it proves difficult to assess the responsibility of the appropriate State party under Article VI of the Outer Space Treaty, or the liability of the launching State.

While legal literature is primarily concerned with domestic legal issues arising from the use of AI, an in-depth analysis concerning State responsibility and liability for AI-enabled space activities is absent. Space legal literature strongly favours a view advocating for the creation of new "hard law" in form of new binding legal instruments, or the amendment of existing law. Suggestions de lege ferenda are often relied on by authors.

Given the inherent difficulty in creating new law, or amend existing legal instruments, this book proposes to look towards the lex lata and argues that the existing legal norms of State responsibility, State liability and treaty law are sufficient to govern the responsibility of States for their AI-enabled apace activities. The present research looks at these issues from a public international law perspective and proposes a solution within the lex lata.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

人工智慧（AI）已滲透到我們的日常生活中。曾經僅僅是人類的任務，如今已被AI所取代。無論是信用卡批准、客戶支持、金融交易、醫療影像還是軟體開發，背後都有AI在運作。

外太空，歷來是最發達的領域之一，也未能長時間保持不變，太空應用開始越來越依賴AI。然而，這種使用的增加也導致了無數法律問題，特別是根據《外太空條約》第六條和第七條的責任和賠償問題。我們的法律規範，無論是國內還是國際性質，最終都是圍繞人類行為建立的，當應用於AI時可能無法正常運作。如果由AI驅動的太空物體造成損害，根據《外太空條約》第六條評估適當國家當事方的責任或發射國的賠償責任將變得困難。

雖然法律文獻主要關注因使用AI而產生的國內法律問題，但針對AI驅動的太空活動的國家責任和賠償的深入分析卻缺乏。太空法律文獻強烈支持創建新的“硬法”的觀點，這些新法以新的具約束力的法律文書形式出現，或對現有法律進行修訂。作者們經常依賴於de lege ferenda的建議。

鑑於創建新法律或修訂現有法律文書的固有困難，本書提議著眼於lex lata，並主張現有的國家責任、國家賠償和條約法的法律規範足以管理國家對其AI驅動的太空活動的責任。本研究從公共國際法的角度探討這些問題，並在lex lata內提出解決方案。

作者簡介

Prof. Mag. Dr. Stefan-Michael Wedenig, LL.M, D.C.L, KC*HS, FRAeS is the Executive Director of the Institute and Centre for Research in Air and Space Law at McGill University, as well as an Assistant Professor (Professional) at the Faculty of Law. He holds a Doctor of Civil Law (D.C.L.) and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) from McGill University, a Magister Iuris (Mag.iur.) from Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria and is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

His current research focuses on the international responsibility of States for space activities involving artificial intelligence (AI), exploring the interactions between AI and public international law, extra-contractual liability, torts and the adaptability of current legal frameworks to new technologies.

He explores the complex interactions between advanced AI systems and multiple branches of public international law, focusing on areas such as State responsibility, extra-contractual liability, and torts.

A key aspect of his work is analyzing whether existing legal frameworks--originally designed for traditional human-operated activities--are sufficiently adaptable and robust to account for the unique risks, uncertainties, and legal challenges posed by rapidly developing technologies. Prof. Wedenig's research also investigates the extent to which international law and national legal systems can accommodate novel scenarios, such as attribution of liability for decisions made by autonomous AI agents, the management of AI-induced accidents or malfunctions in aerospace, and the implications for sovereignty, risk management, and jurisdiction.

He has been a core member of the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) Working Group on Legal Aspects of AI in Space, co-authoring a widely recognized international report on AI regulation in space, presented at major conferences and bodies such as UNCOPUOS, ESOC, ITU, and the Space Symposium in 2025.

Beyond his primary research he also explores topics in aviation finance and urban air mobility.

教授馬格斯·德克·斯特凡-米哈伊·維登尼格（Prof. Mag. Dr. Stefan-Michael Wedenig, LL.M, D.C.L, KC*HS, FRAeS）是麥吉爾大學航空與太空法研究所及中心的執行主任，同時也是法學院的助理教授（專業）。他擁有麥吉爾大學的民法博士（D.C.L.）和法學碩士（LL.M.），以及奧地利林茲約翰·開普勒大學的法學碩士（Magister Iuris, Mag.iur.），並且是英國皇家航空學會的研究員。

他目前的研究重點是國家在涉及人工智慧（AI）的太空活動中的國際責任，探討AI與公共國際法、非契約責任、侵權行為之間的互動，以及現有法律框架對新技術的適應性。

他研究先進AI系統與多個公共國際法分支之間的複雜互動，專注於國家責任、非契約責任和侵權行為等領域。

他工作的關鍵方面是分析現有法律框架——最初設計用於傳統人類操作的活動——是否足夠適應和穩健，以應對快速發展技術所帶來的獨特風險、不確定性和法律挑戰。維登尼格教授的研究還調查國際法和國家法律系統在多大程度上能夠容納新情境，例如自動化AI代理所做決策的責任歸屬、航空航天中AI引起的事故或故障的管理，以及對主權、風險管理和管轄權的影響。

他是國際太空法學會（IISL）關於太空中AI法律方面工作組的核心成員，並共同撰寫了一份廣受認可的有關太空中AI監管的國際報告，該報告在2025年於UNCOPUOS、ESOC、ITU和太空研討會等主要會議和機構上發表。

除了主要研究外，他還探討航空金融和城市空中移動性等主題。
