Artificial intelligence (AI), which encompasses machine learning (ML), has become a critical technology due to its well-established success in a wide array of applications. However, the proper application of AI remains a central topic of discussion in many safety-critical fields. This has limited its success in autonomous systems due to the difficulty of ensuring AI algorithms will perform as desired and that users will understand and trust how they operate. In response, there is growing demand for trustability in AI to address both the expectations and concerns regarding its use. The Aerospace Corporation (Aerospace) developed a Framework for Trusted AI (henceforth referred to as the framework) to encourage best practices for the implementation, assessment, and control of AI-based applications. It is generally applicable, being based on terms and definitions that cut across AI domains, and thus is a starting point for practitioners to tailor to their particular application. To help demonstrate how the framework can be tailored into mission assurance guidance for the space domain, Aerospace sought the involvement of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to engage with actual examples of AI-based space autonomy.
