Artificial Intelligence-AI is likely to replace humans gradually. Such a report was published a few days ago. People associated with various professions will be unemployed due to the influence of AI. This time the profession of aviator has been added to that list. Tim Clark, President of the famous airline company Emirates Airlines, said that in the future, not humans, but AI technology will fly aircrafts.
That is, the passengers will travel boarding in the machine-operated aircrafts.
Clarke said in an interview, ‘Usually there are two pilots in an airplane. But in the coming days only one person will be responsible for flying the plane. Another pilot will be handled by AI technology. But the passengers will not understand that.’ According to Emirates President, AI technology will become more powerful in the coming days. It can be used in many other fields as well.
Clark also said, ‘There are many arguments about what AI should be used for. But I think it’s important to know what the ways to improve at work are’. But according to the Emirates chief, passengers are not ready to accept any substitute for humans as pilots right now. Many may not feel safe in an AI-piloted plane. But for now, AI pilots can be used with a human. In the future, can the passenger plane fly without a pilot? Clarke is not completely ruling out that possibility.
However, Clark has questions about the effectiveness of the AI pilot. In that interview, he said, ‘It is not just the pilot’s job to fly the plane. Keeping all the passengers safe, taking care of their comfort and convenience – all the responsibility rests on the shoulders of the pilot. Even the pilot of the aircraft has to take the responsibility of how to take decisions in emergency situations.’ That’s because AI technology isn’t that advanced yet, according to Clarke.
