“You were right to push back - that runway was in fact occupied”

I don’t see ANY comments in here where it’s clear that people read the fucking article.

“Har har, AI and ATC, I’ll make a funny joke about flying will be unsafe”. Yes, it’s expected, but if you actually read what this is - it’s going to issue predictions about how busy particular times are, basically.

ZERO use of the AI in the tower by ATC to control aircraft in any way.

Sure, they might try to introduce such a thing - at which time your jokes will actually apply!

I guess the next time I want to travel internationally I’ll take a train to Canada and fly out from there.

We’re fucked.

FAA describes the SMART system

The media and old boomers are going to love talking about this system the moment a plane crashes.

That’s the end of me flying. The wife and I will now take extra days, get a rental and have us a road trip

My initial reaction was “well that’s gonna end badly”. But then I realised they are probably not talking about generative AI. ML approaches can be pretty useful for optimisation, so this might not be as bad as it sounds. Really depends on what the actual technology is and what purpose it’s being put to…

Is this an LLM style AI, or a machine learning AI.

If it’s a LLM, it’s not worth a penny

If it’s a true machine learning AI, then I can see the worth of it.

I can’t see a single thing that could go wrong with this.

AI is indeed to blame - but not like you think.
