美国航空局部署AI系统管理华盛顿特区机场航线
doesn’t make me want to fly to DC tbh. hope it turns out ok.
美国航空局要花87.5亿美元给波士顿一家小公司，部署一个AI系统来给管制员提建议，但这个系统在2025年1月空难发生地投入使用，而且没说清楚用的是什么模型，也没公布任何成功指标，有点让人担心。
美国航空局（FAA）将在华盛顿特区机场部署名为SMART的AI系统，该系统由波士顿初创公司Air Space Intelligence开发，价值8.75亿美元。该系统将向空中交通管制员提供建议路线，但不会直接控制飞机。系统在2025年1月导致67人死亡的空难发生地投入使用，且未公开其使用确定性模型还是生成式AI，也未公布任何成功指标。

The $875 million contract over 12 years went to a Boston startup called Air Space Intelligence. SMART will advise controllers on routing at DCA, Dulles, and BWI. This is the same airspace where the American Airlines/Black Hawk collision killed 67 people in January 2025. The FAA says the tool won't directly control planes but will generate alternative routes when traffic backs up. The FAA has not disclosed whether SMART uses deterministic models or generative AI. No success metrics have been published. My Take I'm not against AI in aviation. Predictive tools for weather and traffic flow have existed for years and they work well because they're deterministic. Same input, same output, every time. The FAA won't say whether SMART works that way or whether it can give you a different answer to the same question depending on when you ask it. For $875 million over 12 years to a startup, the public deserves an answer to that before it goes live. SMART won't directly control planes. It will generate alternative routes when traffic backs up. But controllers will see those recommendations on their screens and act on them under pressure in the same corridor where 67 people died 20 months ago. If the recommendation is wrong and a controller follows it, "the AI was only advisory" isn't going to hold up. The FAA hasn't published a single metric for how they'll measure whether this works.
