​​Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force in our industry, impacting everything from -included and not limited to, aircraft design, manufacturing, maintenance, fight operations and training.

​AI is here, integrating itself into all spheres of the industry, and this is at an accelerating pace. The AI 2 workshop continues the journey from our original presentation last year and delves into “now examples” of its ability to process massive data sets, execute complex algorithms and today predict outcomes with remarkable accuracy...But...

​There is always a but...We will look at the journey of AI from a passive assisting system to its evolving role as a more assertive and replacement tool. How do we manage this change to ensure that safety, human interface and ultimately human displacement is not the end game for our industry. We can ill afford to fall into the abyss!
