That seems a few technically short steps from using autonomous drones. Some of the areas where AI is being, and can be, applied in the aviation sector are: Customer service agents That is unless we miraculously develop a complete end-to-end system that has oversight and control over the entire diagnostic pathway. AI in the Aviation Industry. Jobs like power-line inspection are, in some remote areas, mostly carried out from helicopters with human pilots but we seem to be on the brink of replacing some of those pilots with drones. This article covers the various applications of AI in aviation and discusses how close AI is to replacing human pilots in the future. There have been speculations that AI may someday replace human pilots. The main time-consuming barrier is probably regulatory change. Robots to 'replace human pilots' sending aviation into MELTDOWN PILOTS could be out of a job and risk being replaced by robots as artificial intelligence technology surges, an … Pilot unions, however, are skeptical that robots can replace humans in the cockpit. Helicopter pilots.

One of the more accurate metaphors for how AI will impact radiology, according to Langlotz, is how autopilot has impacted pilots. Despite a recent rise in the potential wages for drone pilots, artificial intelligence threatens to replace operators entirely. For aircraft companies to want to replace pilots, there needs to be a cost benefit with a logical path enabling adoption of the technology. While artificial intelligence can absolutely play a part in each of the steps in this diagnostic workflow, and even replace a human in some of them (like scheduling) it simply cannot replace a radiologist entirely.

UK Future Flight Challenge member, Adrian Westwood, looks at the future of drone pilots and how AI could impact future opportunities. Autopilot didn’t replace pilots.
