NASA AI lead warns of technology's 'errors of omission'
NASA's new Artificial Intelligence (AI) lead, David Salvagnini, warned today that the results offered by this technology must be approached with a critical attitude, because there may be "errors of omission" that affect their responses.

"There are times when it generates a false answer that may be obvious and easier to detect. I would be more concerned about errors of omission. What happens when it gives you an answer, but there’s a whole bunch of data that it really didn’t address?” Salvagnini said during a forum on the technology hosted by the space agency in Washington.
NASA’s AI chief called for a close examination of the inputs that lead to those answers.
“Do we understand where that data came from? Do we trust that it’s accurate? Because if the answer to those questions is no, then our confidence in the AI output should be dismissed or discounted,” he said.
Salvagnini was named NASA’s first chief AI officer on May 13, a position created to align the space agency’s strategic vision and planning for the use of the technology.
The new position follows an October 2023 executive order from the Biden administration on the development and safe use of AI that called for all federal agencies to create such a role.
“AI is not responsible for the outcome, people are. We have to be mindful of our responsibilities,” he said.
“I almost wish that artificial intelligence wasn’t called that, but was called digital assistance, like a digital assistant that you can go to to help you in your decision-making process,” he said.
Salvagnini joined NASA in 2023 as its chief data officer after 21 years in the U.S. Air Force and more than two decades working on the intelligence community’s use of technology.
