AI for air traffic control won’t be like concerning advanced models, Transportation head says

US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said AI in FAA airspace modernization will be only an auxiliary tool while preserving controller jobs. Implementation will proceed "slowly," with one of the first scenarios being weather route management.

• AI will only supplement air traffic controllers, not replace them
• AI implementation in US airspace will be "slow"
• First scenario — routing over and through weather zones
• Duffy urged not to overregulate AI to avoid losing companies and jobs
