FAA tees up $875M AI tool to help manage air traffic congestion

That should go swimmingly

Well, honestly, this might be one of the use cases where these “AI” tools could be useful. Pattern recognition is something they are actually great at accomplishing. That said, I am still skeptical and concerned that the algorithms are being designed and deployed mindfully.

we can’t even get self driving cars right yet, I’m not sure ATC is going to be any better (certainly not on whatever pittance the government will fund it). 99% reliability will probably be easy, it’s that last 1% that could take decades to fix.

We’ve had self flying and landing planes for years though. You can’t really compare controlled airspace to the chaos that is operating on the ground.

I’m still skeptical they won’t fuck it up, but this should be a manageable problem for ai.
