Still Another Potentially Deadly But Preventable Near Miss

AI Can Help Prevent Inevitable Catastrophe at Little Cost NOW - Experts

WASHINGTON - eTradeWire -- There's been still another potentially deadly near miss at Nice Côte d'Azur airport

but it andother  near misses could have been prevented easily and at virtually no cost.

They could have been prevented by using computers equipped with AI programs to monitor radio communications as well as radar, says Professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University.

Using AI in different forms to reduce airplane collisions, as well as the escalating number of potentially-fatal near misses (most of which, says the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/21/...), are never reported), was never even been evaluated..

Fortunately there is something which can be up and running in a week, tested and improved in a month, and be operational at all major airports within a year, argues Banzhaf.

An off-the-shelf already-available desktop computer using a modern AI program could provide a significant increase in air traffic safety - like having a lightning-fast genius providing instant real-time warnings - claims Banzhaf.

It would be like having an ever-vigilant and indefatigable genius, who can project scenarios and provide warnings of potential collisions in milliseconds, looking over the shoulders of very busy controllers in airport towers.

After all, the inventor-professor notes, computers running existing AI programs can already do many things air traffic controllers can't possibly do, and do it in milliseconds, including:
■ monitoring the dozens of different relevant radio frequencies, including commercial, helicopter, small craft civilian, military, Homeland Security, and radios from other nearby airports, etc.
■ calculate various flight paths, and trajectories of planes taking off or taxiing, and thereby foresee possible crashes, in fractions of a second
■ never become tired, flustered, distracted, or panicked.

Professor Banzhaf's detailed analysis of how such a supplemental warning system could work, and how it can be tested quickly and safely, has been featured in many forms on the Internet, including, for example:

Fortunately, the professor is no longer alone in calling for testing AI to making flying safer:
AI Impact Analysis on Aviation Industry (https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/ResearchInsig...) ("integration of AI into next generation air navigation systems is enhancing global aviation safety by providing greater situational awareness, reducing the risk of mid air incidents, and allowing more efficient management of congested air routes.")
