Many of us are convinced that our smartphones and other connected devices listen to our every word and can serve us ads based on the keywords we utter. Now, a similar eavesdropping concept could be coming to the flight deck as airlines look at artificial intelligence-enabled technologies that can listen to pilot conversations, store the data for analysis and report “high-stress” events in real time to alert airline personnel on the ground to an unfolding emergency even if the pilots do not communicate with them.
Airlines Mull Real-Time Monitoring of Pilot Conversations
Key Takeaways:
- Airlines are exploring AI-enabled technology to monitor pilot conversations in the cockpit in real-time.
- The aim is to detect "high-stress" events, identify problematic discussions, and relay real-time alerts to ground personnel for improved flight safety.
- While companies like NIIT Technologies are developing these tools, the concept raises significant pilot privacy concerns and is expected to face opposition from unions and regulators.
