I mean, this is potentially a good area where AI could augment human judgement. Leave the human in control and have the AI note to them if they made an error or forgot about a plane or something. Do not try and make it “self driving” or something.

“AI” is such a terrible blanket term. Is this an LLM only? Will there be an actual machine learning model with hard checks doing the decision making? If the latter, I could see it largely working out. If the former … lol

Yeah, DC has notoriously simple traffic with absolutely no heavily documented issues and shortcomings. Nothing of note in the last few years at all. It’s a great idea to test new shit there, this can only go well.

Well, at least comments in this thread can be excused because it doesn’t link to an article, just a stupid fucking reply. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING: AI will be used in the predictions about flight frequencies. IT WILL NOT BE IN THE TOWER. (At least not yet. Which is what the articles are about. So at least realize that if you’re joking/speculating/bitching about ATC in the tower with AI, that’s not what this is) I understand the HYPER ANTI-AI sentiments, but jesus christ people, try reading about what’s actually happening, yeah?

AI ≠ LLM There are a bunch of other types of AI/ML that aren't hallucination engines.

Hooray for having a flight-heavy vacation in two weeks!

This is actually a genuinely good idea since they’re not using LLMs to do it. It’s a very narrow problem that can be modeled and trained just like chess. Air traffic controllers can focus on the “shit’s hitting the fan” events

Didn’t US defund some air traffic security thingy a few months ago?

The fact that anyone is willing to set foot on an airplane in the United States with the current administration running things is astounding to me.

By now we should have learned that disruption is good. Right?

Whenever I see something like this, I hope it’s the good old object-detection or numerical regression kind of AI, rather than LLMs. One can only hope, though.

Undesirable outcomes sometimes happen. But not with AI by your side, good can only happen. Here is what the airline must do now to correct the problem : Unfortunately, your services are no longer necessary Care packages to the families up to a value equal or greater than an upgrade to first class funeral for the window washer Structural Engineers to check the side of the building Windows from Anderson should replace all the damaged Windows Aviation mechanics should replace the wing tips on the planes involved I can help you write a sincere apology letter to everyone involved. At least 500 words. You will need to purchase 500 extra tokens. But don’t go quitting just yet. First you must tell your supervisor what happened so he may fire you for letting me control the chaos in the sky while you were playing Tetris. Yes you may have also beed pooping, but that is besides the point.
