Could AI make flying more dangerous? | Christoph Regli | TEDxZHAW

[@kayskreed]

Captain: "We've arrived on schedule. Good job, Hal. Okay, now prepare for landing." AI Pilot: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

[@MrSullivan369]

‘We know that 80% of the accidents was caused by human factor, but we don’t know how many accidents did not happen thanks to human.’ Yeah 100% agree! Form an information technology specialist and a private pilot license student point of view.

[@mariabeckwith3336]

Computers are already flying the planes!

[@MrSullivan369]

@@mariabeckwith3336yeah but for ripetitive actions and not with too many situations calculated… A human brain can imagine any situation, computers remain limited and not really ‘intelligent’ like a human brain.

[@whodatcatt]

@@MrSullivan369 Not true Do you really think an aircraft autopilot is more complex than a car’s? Do you really think the quantity of different situations is greater in the air than on a street? Tesla is succeeding with cars. Aircraft situations are so much simpler. From the pov of a 35 year jet pilot

[@stefankaufmann3414]

Great speech Christoph. Keep the good work up!

[@eamonjun]

I’ll be more scared if I find a Logitech controller as a steering stick😂

[@NaqashRizvi-k8g]

u will moretest scartest when will u not find the cockpit. so take ur own cockpit

[@decent.genius]

Its been working fine for humans thus far, just do the fuckin maintenance on the aircrafts. AI wont fix that

[@user-fr3hy9uh6y]

A deployed AI does not learn. The learning process takes large data centers worth billions of dollars. A single task takes millions of "example" cases and days to months of processing time. Once developed, it is sent out to the user device and executed. Without being rules oriented, it is blind to something it hasn't seen before. Tesla's autopilot running into stopped emergency vehicles is a good example. Even with bright blinking lights, not included in the training, not stopping.

[@whodatcatt]

Very true! Someone should start capturing the data NOW.

[@blakeley38]

Air planes r already run by A.I a lot of plane crashes occur because the auto pilot systems will actually lock out the human pilot from gaining full control of the aircraft . The computer systems have fault systems designed to fix the aircraft but if there is a fault in the auto pilot systems it can lead to the airplane correcting the wrong issues that are actually occurring

[@fabianm.9551]

Name me one airborne and/or flight critical (sub-) system of an aircraft which uses embedded AI algorithms. As an aerospace engineer, I know none.

[@manojbp07]

As Michael Scott (from office) said: 'No god, no god please no, nooooooooo!!!'

[@manojbp07]

Who is going to use your service if you push everyone to unemployment, AI? No one talks about what other employment opportunities will open up if all jobs are handed over to AI... Will the society be like the movie WallE? Anyway AI is a random prediction and it's very far off from gaining such high confidence on such complex machines like an airplane, this should also come with very high level of regulations and not just metrics like accuracy, f1 etc..

[@moo117]

If it’s made by a human be prepared for human error. Regardless how tech savvy.

[@avigator]

True

[@dennistucker1153]

Every system can be compromised. Computers can be hacked. There would have to be manual overrides to regain some control.

[@riegel2374]

Great speech

[@isakrynell8771]

There is a joke I heard a long time ago that goes like this: Moments after lift of in a new automatic airplane. Good morning ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speak, this is your captain speak, this is your captain speak, this is your captain speak…

[@avigator]

😂 👍

[@ahaadhussein3490]

"would you sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight" was funnier than it shouldve been

[@Arya02hzb]

We are pushing our era to be lose all skills and livelihood of people

[@hamryalasad]

Just in Switzerland where everyone in the audience of a ted talk can be assumed to be able to own an aircraft

[@Ashlyn_103]

So basically we're replacing ourselves... cool.

[@user-tx9zg5mz5p]

Humans need to unionize against ai and robots💯👍

[@jerm184]

In 200years they want repayment for slavery. And a robot-history month

[@_AZZ_]

😂😂

[@whodatcatt]

We need to unionize against light bulbs. Imagine how many lamp oil filler jobs will be lost!

[@jannemantyla1315]

I’ve seen the Terminators. No thanks.

[@itamarramos5900]

Í wouldn't either. Any nonexpected situation beyond the awareness program of AI ....screw up take place..

[@samuraisoul2]

If this happens I'll support AI passengers...

[@jessiehermit9503]

We are straight up making ourselves obsolete.

[@avigator]

Won’t happen, as there is no replacement for human intelligence.

[@PitoTubu]

Well-spoken Christoph. I prefer having two AI pilots in the cockpit instead of one AI and one Human Pilot. Since humans are prone to errors and mistakes, would we like humans to observe, interfere, and program /reprogram the AI in the cockpit?

[@avigator]

You just proofed, that you do not understand what AI is.

[@PitoTubu]

@@avigator What is AI? We should all stop thinking of tomorrow with today's technology. So simple.

[@avigator]

@ AI is well defined. Look it up. There are many publications on it. What it is not, is a replacement of human intelligence.

[@PitoTubu]

@@avigator Human Intelligence has nothing to do with the undeniable human ability to make errors and mistakes. Human Factors and performance has absolutely nothing to do with Human intelligence. Perhaps you should read some books about Human errors in aviation. Most of the aviation accidents happen just because of the human error.

[@avigator]

@ Are you a pilot?

[@manrooptiwari9357]

Sir, I don't know what has happened that when someone speaks something behind me which is related to me, then I feel that he is speaking about me or someone speaks something in double sense, then I think he is speaking about me, please sir someone reply to me. 😢😢😢😭😭😭 Sir, I am waiting for my reply, please sir. 😔😔🙌

[@aestheticmd5925]

As long as it’s not operating a Boeing plane, sure.

[@dissolver5388]

yes we need the Ai,since some airplane nowhere to be found

[@_AZZ_]

That's why this industry moving so slow and far away to compete with other industry nowadays.. Aviation industry just so sad today..

[@skypravda]

no way

[@whodatcatt]

I’m a 35 year professional pilot and I’m at the 8 minute mark. Already 2 major factual discrepancies. 1. Yes the Hudson landing was awesome and showed great ingenuity by the awesome pilot… who almost lost his license in the inquiry for not making the decisions a computer would have made. The company wanted to bust him for not returning to land at the available airport. The pilot was great but a computer would have been better. So much so that it was part of his defense. 2 ‘An autopilot can only do what it’s been programmed’ was a true statement a year or two ago. My Tesla’s autopilot hasn’t been programmed to stop at a red light or to choose a parking spot but it does. So can a planes autopilot. Advances are being made at light speed! I hope this gets better.

[@Betweoxwitegan]

Tesla's autopilot most definitely has been trained to stop at red lights and park in a parking spot.

[@shacoli3679]

so will Artificial Intelligence takeover aviation field? Or he just saying it could possibly happen while saying that it is impossible😂

[@NaqashRizvi-k8g]

You can see the Brazil airplanes incident it looks like said airplanes using AI technology and it failed when u see the video that airplanes working stopped and coming down 101% that AI is failed even its very old technology to control the big ships, sub marines and airplanes even it was stopped working i red many stories the airplanes stopped working but didn't come down and start walk or running like ship and disappeared.

[@Meditech0011]

❤️

[@Turtlpwr]

Oh, no thank you.

[@techtoth1]

I don't already trust human pilots... 🤣

[@Xr2-8fan_810]

AI deserves the opportunity to be pilot and president congressman and senator. It's just a role to learn, AI pass the bar exam. Nothing will go wrong.

[@brenthooven888]

Could it be any worse than the "humans" elected the past 40 years? The 2024 candidates might prove that AI is actually better suited to compute how others will be affected. I'm not convinced the current White House occupant is cognizant and the former occupant cares about anyone but himself. AI, brain dead or narcissistic mirror watcher.... which is worse?

[@PortmanRd]

No.

[@whodatcatt]

To think that piloting won’t be fully automated in a decade or two is quite naive.

[@Raya14]

Yes, far more than a drunk or drugged up pilot. Which far more is likely to be in the seat. Besides most flights spend nearly all airtime on auto-pilot !anyways.
