US probes AI link to civil aviation system failures

An investigation has been launched in the United States into the possible causes of widespread disruptions in civil aviation. The primary focus is on whether a new artificial intelligence-based air traffic management system could have triggered these interruptions.

Department of Homeland Security position

The US Department of Homeland Security stated that it is considering the possibility that the failures were caused by artificial intelligence. This statement was made after a journalist asked whether the incident was linked to the implementation of a new AI-based air traffic management system. In response, agency representatives said:

«Ми розглядаємо такий варіант» (We are considering that possibility).

Implementation of the new FAA system

According to reports, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) began implementing such a system on 14 November 2026. It is currently being determined whether it could have been involved in the disruptions across the country.
