Federal Agency Turns to Artificial Intelligence for Airspace Solutions
The Federal Aviation Administration is investing $875 million in an AI software program designed to help air traffic controllers manage their workflows and more safely navigate flight routes. The program, called Smart, will use AI to assess various factors and predict traffic flows, identifying potential conflicts before they occur. The software, developed by Air Space Intelligence, will roll out in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area before expanding to other regions. This development was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
