But not at the expense of safety, right?
Right?
Right:
The system uses machine learning to assign arriving aircraft to the nearest available gate with the shortest taxi time.
As long as a human being is there to handle exceptions.
Sooooooooo standard tree search that comp science students were doing in the 80s?
But now with AI!
So it uses 20 high power Nvidia GPU’s instead of running on a single 5 watt microcontroller!

AI doing air traffic control work?
Jesus fucking Christ, what could possibly go wrong?
I feel like ATC is one of those pattern-recognition constraint-satisfaction problem jobs where a (non-generative!) algorithm can probably do a pretty good job.
Everything they are doing has known algorithms. Some are np problems though, but ai isn’t any better for those than the existing algorithyms. but ai is hype today so everyone needs to do it. In a few years this will die off and ai will be used for where it is useful. Just like every other ai that has been a fad for a while since 1950.
Why do you think this is going to replace air traffic control work? It’s picking which gate to park the plane at. This was done by airline and airport operations teams, not ATC. Imagine if you could automatically pick gates to reduce the time a plane spends taxiing and/or minimize time passengers spend walking. That’s 100% a useful application for computer optimization algorithms. Humans aren’t going to do that better and it’s not a function of safety that tower or ground control needs to do.
all that’s fine and good, but one just needs to see your username to fathom what could potentially go wrong.
Another problem that has been solved years ago with regular old algorithms and properly designed airports.
AI not gonna solve crap when your entire timetable collapses because one flight got delayed and you refused to spend money to use additional gates or upgrade an antiquated 90s system.
Putting the AI in AIR line
