The first AI pilot allows autonomous aircraft to traverse crowded skies.
Artificial intelligence can safely avoid crashes, forecast other aircraft's intentions, track and coordinate with their actions, and communicate with pilots and air traffic controllers via radio. The researchers from Carnegie Mellon University hope to develop the AI to the point where its actions are indistinguishable from those of a human pilot. To engage with other aircraft as a human pilot would, the AI communicates its intent with other aircraft, whether flown or not, us
