Shouldn't AI be able to do away with air traffic controllers?

Asked by LostInParadise (31932points) 1 month ago

Overall the work done by air traffic controllers is admirable, but aren’t they just providing a solution to a mathematical problem: Given the positions, speeds and destinations of a set of points, how do you direct them to land and take off with minimal chance of two of them colliding? With all due respect to the controllers, shouldn’t we be able to get rid of them?
