Aviation Industry Faces Technical Hurdles In Adopting Machine Learning
Despite the growing use of automation in aviation, commercial aircraft do not currently utilize artificial intelligence due to the rigorous certification process. Researchers from the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Aircraft Systems have identified the challenges in certifying AI systems for use in commercial aviation, including the need for new standards to address the probabilistic behavior of machine learning. The study, published in Frontiers in Aerospace Engineering, highlights the need for simultaneous progress in certification standards, machine learning development, and hardware integration to enable the safe adoption of AI in commercial aircraft, as reported by Scienmag.
