Lawmakers ask FAA to pause use of new AI tool in DC-area flight management
On October 13, a group of 25 lawmakers sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), seeking to halt the use of a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool in the Washington, D.C. area. The lawmakers, including Democrats April Delaney, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Don Beyer, expressed their concerns over the lack of safety evaluations and testing reports for the pilot project.
They also pointed out the absence of any training programs for aviation safety personnel on the proper use of the tool. The lawmakers are urging the FAA to take a pause on the AI tool's implementation until these issues can be addressed and resolved.
