What is space environmentalism? How to make space and the use thereof more sustainable, in particular to address space garbage? Which international or other governance and accountability schemes and mechanism are applicable in that realm? To what extent do these work? Where are the gaps? How to address those gaps? How to increase transparency, predictability and accountability? While also space technology development and the increasing proliferation of space assets are outpacing accountability and Rule of Law development, how to catch up – and keep up? What other parallels can be identified between development concerning space and those concerning the global internet and this Digital Age?

Why is knowing more about (un)trustworthly AI relevant for business leadership and education? Are all AI systems evil? How to increase revenue, decrease cost and decrease risk and other detrimental effects in this Digital Age, in an ethical and accountable manner? Does AI design, deployment and use fit in 21st Century ESG requirements, for instance bias-wise, or energy consumption-wise? Who should be at the table to discuss and address detrimental impact and net-benefits? Where each has it’s own interests, values and semantics; how to enable that each at the table understand each other? These and many other key topics are addressed in this Dialogue.

When is policy enough, or too much? What are the differences between the various global, regional and local policy initiatives on AI? Where originate these differences from? How can the general public, and society at large be protected against the many possible misuses of AI, AI systems and AI system markets? Who should help the public and society with that? And, where that takes quite some time; what is the biggest accountability gap today and how to address it, today? And, how to demonstrate ethical, transparent and other diligent designing, engineering, deploying, use and optimising?
