The US government has expanded the use of an AI tool for advising air traffic controllers to assist in managing air traffic across the entire national airspace system. Airline executives have voiced support for the rollout, but the US labor union representing air traffic controllers has said it was not involved in designing or testing the AI-driven system.

I really wish the FAA would not implement AI into anything regarding air traffic control.

I could believe either AI deployment frickup or counter-deployment attack. Odd world we live in, baws.

Guess that last floppy disk was the most important one.

So the federal government fricked up an unnecessary AI install and brought down the country’s entire flight infrastructure. Well done fellas.

I've known a lot of people who work at or have worked at the FAA in OKC. This wouldn't surprise me one bit.

This is one of those “if it’s not broken don’t fix it” things

Cant we please not jump to implementing it at the fricking FAA first?!
How about a trial run controlling the traffic lights in the houston metro or something?

Continuous Telemetry Aggregation.
Expanding SMART from a limited regional test to all 22 control centers required pulling roughly 200 to 250 continuous data streams—covering radar tracks, weather feeds, airline schedules, and staffing metrics—across the entire national airspace

Aging Infrastructure Strain.
Infrastructure engineers and aviation observers have pointed out that hooking high-volume data pipelines into decades-old FAA telecommunications hardware can create bottlenecks. The FAA has been working to replace miles of aging copper wiring and legacy radio systems with fiber-optic lines under a $12.5 billion modernization effort, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy noting that another $30 billion is still needed to finish the overhaul.

Rarely cocidences occur like this. Probably rolling back changes now
