JAKARTA Today, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology is urgently needed by the company. Almost all sectors need AI, even institutions that focus on space and science such as NASA. NASA's focus on AI is increasingly visible after the US state agency appoints a new division head. For the first time, NASA has the position of Chief AI Officer. This position will be filled by NASA's Chief Data Officer David Salvagnini on May 20. Through its official blog, NASA said that this new position was created on the basis of US President Joe Biden's executive order. This order is concerned with the Development and Use of Secure, Guaranteed, and Trusted Artificial Intelligence. During its duties, Salvagni will align NASA's strategy and planning in using AI. "He acts as a pioneer of AI innovation, supporting the development and management of risk tools, platforms, and training." Apart from being a pioneer of AI innovation, Salvagnini will continue the collaboration between NASA and other government agencies, academic institutions, and industrial partners. This collaboration is of course related to the development of AI technology. Before appointing Salvagnini as Chief AI Officer, NASA has developed and utilized AI technology to achieve several missions. The company uses AI to search for planets beyond the solar system.

"Various AI tools are used by NASA to benefit mankind in supporting missions and research projects," NASA said. "(AI is also used to) analyze data, uncover trends and patterns, and develop systems." AI advances are essential for NASA so that the US state agency can remain at the forefront of the space sector. This technology will be used responsibly in order to provide, "benefits to all mankind."
