Proposal: 'Planetary Neural Network' to Defend AI‑Enabled Space Infrastructure A proposal calls for a 'Planetary Neural Network' — a distributed, AI‑driven system to detect, respond to and mitigate cyber and operational threats against AI‑enabled space assets. The plan urges coordinated defense across satellites, ground stations and operators to protect on‑orbit compute and services.
