With an aim toward maintaining safety, artificial intelligence has great potential to significantly assist pilots, say experts, although humans are expected to remain the ultimate decision-makers on the flight deck for the foreseeable future.
Specifically, recent AI advancements have bolstered flight deck safety by accelerating efficiency, reducing pilot workload and increasing operational preparedness. Several OEMs are developing AI technology in the avionics space, including Airbus, Boeing, Collins Aerospace and Honeywell. Honeywell’s core avionics system Anthem, unveiled nearly four years ago at the 2021 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, is designed to provide a seamless integration of so-called “deterministic AI” into the flight deck.
