About
Dr. Tammer Barkouki is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human spaceflight, specializing in human-centered explainable AI (XAI) and human-autonomy teaming for deep space exploration. His most impactful work, the 2023 survey "XAI Design Goals and Evaluation Metrics for Space Exploration," directly addresses a critical challenge for NASA and its international partners as they prepare for sustained lunar missions and future voyages to Mars. By interviewing domain experts from the human spaceflight community, Dr. Barkouki established foundational design goals and evaluation metrics for AI systems that must operate reliably over vast distances, where communication delays make autonomous decision-making essential. This pioneering research bridges the gap between technical AI development and the practical needs of astronauts and mission controllers, ensuring that future AI assistants are not only capable but also transparent and trustworthy. With his work already informing the design of next-generation crewed spacecraft, Dr. Barkouki is shaping how humans and intelligent machines will collaborate to explore the solar system.
