FAA begins rollout of AI system to reduce flight disruptions

The FAA has begun rolling out SMART, an AI-powered tool designed to identify potential air-traffic congestion earlier and help reduce flight delays and cancellations.
The system is intended to give aviation operators earlier visibility into developing bottlenecks, potentially improving traffic management and operational planning across the U.S. airspace system.
The rollout represents another expansion of AI into critical transportation infrastructure, with its practical impact depending on deployment scale and operational performance.
