The ruling establishes that long-term use alone does not automatically create a legal easement.

They contend that accurate early warnings require human expertise working alongside artificial intelligence. The piece highlights a gap between space-based monitoring capability and the analysis and communication systems needed to act on it. The report is published by NDTV.
