I had a privilege to contribute to Flight Safety Foundation Artificial Intelligence in Aviation panel held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The panelists and I shared our thoughts on this emerging technology and how it can be adopted in the complexity of Aviation Safety. We agreed that human oversight will remain essential, ensuring AI complements rather than replaces human expertise in critical safety processes. Thank you FSF team for the invitation and the opportunity to present!
