The FAA is expanding use of an $875 million AI tool, SMART, to "assist in managing air traffic across the entire national airspace system," but the agency says that the route-management software will not affect air safety.
Published yesterday. What’s the worst that could happen?
The first phase of the SMART rollout was only going to provide AI routing optimization, a thing AI/ML should excel at. No phase of this rollout was to replace human ATCs, only provide options to be approved.
So while this shouldn’t be the issue, it’s a hella coincidence.
