You’re assuming the AI works and does what you expect. Neither of those are reasonable assumptions.
Everything has an opportunity cost. To be beneficial AI has to be better than the status quo to be. In aviation that’s a much higher bar than “not nothing”. It has to be better than the time saturation flight crews already experience.
- Aeolun 3y agoI’m not assuming the AI works at all. Maybe we are talking about different things? If the flight is over, and some analysis spits out a bunch of garbage, how does that hurt anyone? Nobody is going to tell pilots that they should stop using the word ‘and’ even if the AI spits that out as a possible point of improvement.
- mulmen 3y agoIf the AI doesn’t work it is a waste of everyone’s time to even look at the output. As I already said nothing is free. There’s always an opportunity cost. Collecting data for unknown benefit has a cost in dollars, time, and potentially human life. “The AI doesn’t have to work” is exactly the thoughtlessness that aviation avoids and technology breeds.
