FAA ground stop: Ex-Transportation Dept. Inspector General questions newly deployed SMART AI tool amid ‘extraordinary’ outage
FAA grounds flights nationwide amid communications failure as former inspector general questions possible link to new SMART tool.
Former US Department of Transportation Inspector General Mary Schiavo has questioned whether the Federal Aviation Administration's newly deployed SMART AI tool could be connected to a nationwide flight disruption that forced all flights in the United States to remain grounded. Schiavo pointed out that the FAA had announced plans to begin using SMART on the same day the ground stop was issued and suggested that difficulties could have emerged from running the new software alongside the FAA's existing systems. The FAA had not announced any connection between the SMART rollout and the communications failure.
