The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is facing unique challenges in deploying artificial intelligence (AI) as part of its operations. While the Biden administration has prioritized the integration of AI in federal agencies, the FAA is taking a cautious approach due to safety concerns. The FAA is collaborating with partners, internal research staff, and NASA to explore various AI applications in aviation contexts. The agency has a chief scientific and technical advisor for AI and is working on certifying AI technologies for use in the national airspace system.
Despite making progress in harnessing predictive analytics, machine learning, and AI, the FAA still needs to adapt AI risk management methodologies from institutions like the National Institute of Science and Technology. The agency has identified several AI use cases, including predictive analytics for safety risks, decision support, process automation, and aviation cybersecurity. However, many of these applications are still in the research phase or at a relatively early stage of deployment. The FAA's circumspect approach reflects the challenges of using AI in a safety-critical industry like aviation.
