Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technique that is being used to increasingly automate aviation processes. The slow cleansing of pilots from the cockpit seems to be the next logical step based on the past, i.e. the removal of the navigator career field from commercial and military aviation. However, our team sees glaring problems with this progression based on historical examples (Boeing’s 737 MAX program) and the worries of the future (non-human initiated weapons deployment). The goal of our research is to slow the implementation of AI into the aviation community due to its current lack of technical progress as well as the unparalleled human grasp on complicated decision making.
