FAA begins rollout of new AI air traffic controller system
Digest more
The FAA has begun using AI in Washington-area airspace to predict congestion and help managers adjust routes and departure times before delays spread.
The FAA says the system moves air-traffic management from a reactive approach to a predictive one, helping officials plan hours, days and even weeks ahead instead of responding after delays have built.
Regulators at the Federal Aviation Administration are preparing to roll out AI-enhanced software in an $875 million overhaul to manage the nation's airspace.
