    My worry is that the hype was created by generative AI, so when they talk about AI I’m afraid they mean LLM.

    Wouldn’t controlling traffic be a NP problem and we could have a hesitation algorithm to do it (ironically those algorithms we used to call AI).

    I also would be surprised they already don’t have mechanisms to validate choices made by traffic controller. That probably be a polynomial difficulty problem.

    I think the main reason why they want to introduce AI there is so they can fire traffic controllers as they are major headache for Republicans when they keep government hostage.

      In the air, most planes are required to have a Traffic Collision Avoidance System onboard. It will alert pilots if they are too close to other aircraft and what action to take if they’re too close. Pilots are required to perform the action if alerted regardless of what the traffic controller says.
