Offtopic AI Discussion

taraf If AI is only capable of flying (or driving) in fair weather, then it's useless in the modern world.

Try again.

AI will be able to take off, fly and land any aircraft in any weather that a human can and beyond. AI will enhance the landing of airplanes in various weather conditions through several advanced technologies and systems. Here are the ways AI will do this:

Autonomous Landing Systems: AI will be integrated into autopilot systems to do fully automated landings. These systems use sensors and algorithms to assess the aircraft's position, speed, and altitude, making real-time adjustments to ensure a safe landing.
Sensor Fusion: AI will process data from multiple sensors, such as radar, lidars, and cameras to create a comprehensive understandings the whole environment. This will in detect obstacles and runway conditions and weather such as fog, rain, or snow.
Weather Prediction and Analysis: AI algorithms will analyze weather data in real time. It will predicting changes in conditions that could affect landing like no human can do. It will be assessing wind patterns, visibility and precipitation which will accomplish better decision-making during the approach and landing phases than any human.
Machine Learning for Pattern Recognition: AI will be trained on vast amounts of flight data to recognize patterns associated with successful landings in adverse conditions. Its already begun. This knowledge is going to be applied to improve landing techniques and strategies.
Enhanced Decision Support Systems: AI will replace the faulty judgement of pilots by making decisions based on current conditions, such as optimal approach angles, speeds and alternate landing sites if necessary.
Real-time Communication: AI will facilitate better communication between a fully automated aircraft and automated air traffic control.

By integrating these technologies, AI will significantly improve the safety and reliability of aircraft landings in challenging weather conditions, ultimately enhancing overall aviation safety. The majority of aircraft incidents is human pilot error. That faulty part will be taken out of tbe systems.

AI is the future of safe flights without human pilot errors. AI is already becoming a bigger and bigger part of all our lives and arguing it is nonsensical. It will be running our cars, planes and trains. It will eventually be everywhere and the majority of the newer generations will embrace it.

Already being used for years now.

Not happening as the sensors to do such do not exist to the point they can be trusted in such situations.

ThirdShifter Weather Prediction and Analysis: AI algorithms will analyze weather data in real time. It will predicting changes in conditions that could affect landing like no human can do.

Also not happening as the static sensor systems are not in place and on board systems would not be able to work without the static systems, a secondary problem is the lack of licensed frequencies for such systems to operate on.

ThirdShifter AI will replace the faulty judgement of pilots by making decisions based on current conditions, such as optimal approach angles, speeds and alternate landing sites if necessary.

Not happening as AI is only as smart as who it can learn from and will not replace humans to operate motor vehicles nor less aircraft in the foreseeable future.

ThirdShifter Real-time Communication: AI will facilitate better communication between a fully automated aircraft and automated air traffic control.

Again the static systems are not in place and knowing the FAA will probably never be in place, heck the FAA barely has enough TDWR as it is, your AI dream system would require billions of dollars in more systems which by the way need a lot of maintenance. I have seen the TDWR for FLL go down at the worst possible times leaving the ATC and tower in the dark about wind sheer conditions around FLL

Do you understand what the A part of AI means?

Artificial "made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural."

In other words AI will be just as defective, if not more defective than the human beings it tries to learn from and too often understands incorrectly.

ThirdShifter 1. Autonomous Landing Systems: AI will be integrated into autopilot systems to do fully automated landings. These systems use sensors and algorithms to assess the aircraft's position, speed, and altitude, making real-time adjustments to ensure a safe landing.

It's do-able right now at major airports that have appropriate instrumentation. Even so, regulatory agencies are loathe to let planes take-off and land themselves.

Sensor Fusion: AI will process data from multiple sensors, such as radar, lidars, and cameras to create a comprehensive understandings the whole environment.

In the list of sensors, you forgot to mention MCAS, which worked behind the pilot's back, and was difficult/impossible to over-ride.

Weather Prediction and Analysis: AI algorithms will analyze weather data in real time. It will predicting changes in conditions that could affect landing like no human can do. It will be assessing wind patterns, visibility and precipitation which will accomplish better decision-making during the approach and landing phases than any human.

I repeat... MCAS

Machine Learning for Pattern Recognition: AI will be trained on vast amounts of flight data to recognize patterns associated with successful landings in adverse conditions. Its already begun. This knowledge is going to be applied to improve landing techniques and strategies.

Already being applied in the hospital environment. Images from radiology are compared against a database of images of patients with/without cancer. If a patient's image has a high match rate against images of cancerous patients, the computer flags it... "Hey Doc, I think you need to take a closer look at this". The computer does not send the patient to the operating room by itself.

I do not believe that "pattern recognition" == "Artificial Intelligence". It can be a very useful tool, but it has its limitations.

Not a serious question.

I merely see the future for what it is.

I'm splitting the AI chat here, if you want to continue talking about AI, or AI and Airplanes, or anything else related, do so here. The Pearson crash deserves its own topic.

Machine learning gets used a lot in my line of work - we deal with sensors that generate tremendous amounts of data, and we use machine learning to watch it in real time and flag anomalies. There are options in the industry that can act on the anomalies with a pre-programmed playbook, but those are only as good as the human that told it how to respond to specific situations - in the end it still requires a meatbag.

AI is not to be trusted for anything critical so far. Especially depending on who controls it

I think we're going to start to need to rely on a new internet trope

It is already starting to become an annoying trend where people cite an AI as their argument. Usually it's grok. Their comment will be: "Here's what grok says..."
