FAA Deploys AI Across US Airspace to Ease Traffic Jams

RecentNews.uk

The FAA has expanded its $875 million SMART artificial intelligence tool across all 22 US air traffic control centers.

Initial testing in Washington, DC reportedly saved 10 minutes and 80 gallons of fuel per rerouted flight.

The National Air Traffic Controllers Association stated it was not consulted or involved in designing the system.

Human specialists must validate all AI recommendations before they reach local controllers.

Should artificial intelligence be given a direct role in managing commercial flight paths?
