Here is the power of AI. Having watched all the aircrash programmes , if a fault comes up on the flight deck pilots generally ignore it because they know its wrong. A pilot flying a Portuguese plane from the USA to Portugal had a warning that fuel was leaking, he ignored it. Then he decided to pump fuel from one wing to the other to save fuel, the problem was that he pumped fuel into the wing that was leaking.
Eventually he calculated that he was coming up short, but could make a small island with a runway that was too short. He had to land, and the only thing that prevented the plane going over a cliff into the water was that the tyres burst putting sufficient drag on the plane.
He had run out of fuel, and had glided to the island, a record distance, and was given an award for doing so. AI is not trusted and is frequently wrong.
It just complicates everything, but it is helpful in a limited way, but to put trust in it is utterly mad.
