Data Intensity

Air Traffic Control is a highly regulated, complex industry with stringent compliance requirements, substantial physical infrastructure, and a specialized workforce. The potential for AI to fully displace this industry is minimal due to the critical nature of human interaction, real-time decision-making, and regulatory hurdles. While AI can assist, it is unlikely to fully replace human controllers.
