Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Future of Aviation
The aviation industry is rapidly adopting artificial intelligence, from new air traffic management tools to pilotless cross-country flights.
US transportation secretary Sean Duffy recently introduced SMART, a new AI-infused air traffic management tool designed to cut delays. Meanwhile, companies like Joby Aviation have successfully conducted pilotless cross-country flights where safety pilots did not need to intervene. While proponents argue these technologies will improve travel, experts and former officials express concern about the reliability and safety of introducing AI into such a critical system.
