FAA expands AI tool across US airspace for air traffic
Ars Technica: FAA expands AI advice to manage air traffic congestion across entire US airspace
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. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says the $875 million SMART system has helped reroute 180 flights since being implemented in airspa
The FAA has expanded the use of an AI tool called SMART across the entire US airspace to help manage air traffic congestion. The system combines information about weather, flight paths, traffic flow, and controller staffing to make recommendations about flight routing and arrival order, though human FAA specialists validate recommendations before they reach local air traffic controllers, who can choose to accept or reject them. Airlines have supported the expansion, citing results from an initial deployment that reportedly reduced flight times and fuel consumption, but the union representing air traffic controllers stated it was not involved in designing or testing the system.
