*Title*: AI in Space -- From Earth Orbit to Mars and Beyond!

*Abstract: *Artificial Intelligence is playing an increasing role in our
everyday lives and the business marketplace. This trend extends to the
space sector, where AI has already shown considerable success and has the
potential to revolutionize almost every aspect of space exploration. We
first highlight a number of success stories of the tremendous impact of
Artificial Intelligence in Space: over a dozen years of operations of the
Autonomous Sciencecraft on EO-1, the Earth Observing Sensorweb tracking
volcanoes, flooding and wildfires and automated targeting onboard the MER
and MSL rovers. Finally we discuss why AI is essential to the search for
life beyond Earth, highlighting the key role of AI in Europa Submersible
and Interstellar mission concepts.

*Speaker Bio*: Dr. Steve Chien
<https://ai.jpl.nasa.gov/public/people/chien/> is JPL Fellow, Senior
Research Scientist, and Technical Group Supervisor of the Artificial
Intelligence Group and in the Mission Planning and Execution Section at the
