    I’m all for automation if it works and if it improves safety but as far as I know they haven’t proven that yet. I’d like to see an AI air traffic controller running in a simulation for many many years of simulation time first before we would even begin to talk about implementing it in real hardware.

      Could test it out at small low-volume/non commercial airports first & go from there

        I’d start with computer Sims before putting people’s lives on the line, but then from your suggestion

          The question is whether the AI or the human is more prone to mistakes. It’s hard to do that without real world tests, unfortunately.

          Like self driving cars. Of course they’re going to be involved in crashes where people die, but humans are such terrible drivers that the computers are better (except for Tesla which just has mislabeled lane assist)
