Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed concerns regarding the use of artificial intelligence in a new air traffic control system on Thursday, assuring Americans that the Trump administration is “not outsourcing aviation to AI.”
asserted
administration → address → AI
Duffy and Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Bryan Bedford unveiled the new AI-powered Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes, and Trajectories, or SMART, system on Monday.
asserted
Duffy → unveil → Monday
The two showed a behind-the-scenes look at how the program works to analyze local weather patterns and flight path trajectories as they begin the federal rollout of the technology at Washington-area airports.
asserted
they → show → airports
Media reports of the new AI-powered SMART technology have sparked online buzz about how the system fits with human air traffic controllers.
asserted
system → power → controllers
Duffy sought to assure reporters Monday that humans are still in control of air traffic control.
asserted
humans → seek → control
“I want to be clear: Humans control the airspace, humans make decisions,” Duffy said.
asserted
Duffy → want → decisions
“We’re just giving them way better technology, way better foresight.
asserted
We → give → technology
And so, we’re excited about what this is going to bring in aviation.
asserted
this → ’re → aviation
The SMART technology uses AI to assist human air traffic controllers by predicting weather patterns, airport capacity, and airplane travel.
asserted
technology → use → patterns
The program is part of a wider air traffic control system upgrade called the Flow Management Data and Services.
asserted
program → call → upgrade
Throughout his tenure, Duffy has prioritized the need for air traffic control system improvements, awarding a $875.6 million, 12-year contract to Air Space Intelligence to implement this new system in June.
asserted
Duffy → prioritize → June
Duffy called the technology a display of “predictive tools to help humans better manage the airspace.”
asserted
humans → call → airspace
“What we’ve thought through is: Let’s use the best technology possible, the best predictors possible, so humans can make the best decisions possible.
asserted
humans → think → decisions
And when we make the best decisions possible, that means you have less delays and you have less cancellations, which means your experience in the airspace is way better,” Duffy said.
asserted
Duffy → make → airspace
The program will first be deployed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, though the FAA plans to expand the technology nationwide.
asserted
FAA → deploy → technology
The Washington region has been at the center of the aviation conversation since a mid-air collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger flight descending into Reagan National Airport killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft.
asserted
collision → descend → aircraft
After the collision happened — just hours into Duffy’s tenure as transportation secretary — he vowed to modernize the technologies that regulate how airplanes communicate with one another and with airport headquarters.
asserted
airplanes → happen → headquarters
