FAA deploys AI system SMART for air traffic management

Obligations: The FAA is obligated to ensure the AI system (like SMART) it deploys for air traffic management meets safety standards and provides reliable routing advice to controllers, while the system itself does not directly control planes. • Opportunities: The AI system can help optimize air traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve airport operational efficiency. • Deadlines: The system was deployed in the airspace where the American Airlines/Black Hawk collision that killed 67 people in January 2025 occurred, requiring assurance of its safety and effectiveness.
