🔥Coincidence or deliberate? AI may have caused a major disaster this time... Air travel across the U.S. has ground to a halt...
An uncanny coincidence? A lawmaker issued a warning five weeks in advance, calling for the FAA's AI air traffic control system, SMART, to be halted.
An AI air traffic control tool built with a massive $875 million investment had been announced as rolling out nationwide just three days before U.S. air traffic control came to a complete standstill.
The lawmaker had long been pressing for clarity on who would be held responsible for an accident, but the FAA dodged the question throughout and proceeded with the deployment as planned.
The official explanation is a communications failure, but officials haven't ruled out the possibility that SMART was involved.
The developer was quick to distance itself from the incident, while the Department of Transportation turned around and requested an additional $3.01 billion for air traffic control.
With tens of thousands of flights delayed or canceled, this AI infrastructure risk incident remains unresolved.
