Project description
AI Digital Assistants for aviation safety
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems in aviation require trained and experienced people to conduct safe and socially acceptable operations. The EU-funded HAIKU project will deliver prototypes of AI Digital Assistants for different aviation segments and users: commercial aviation pilots, urban air mobility and sky taxis, remotely piloted drones, remote towers, and air traffic controllers. The project will develop guidance and assurance procedures and explore Human-AI Teaming via several interactive prototypes. HAIKU will deliver New Human Factors design guidance and methods for safe, effective and trustworthy Digital Assistants for Aviation and a set of aviation use cases illustrating the tasks, roles, autonomy and team performance of the Digital Assistant in normal and emergency scenarios.
Objective
The aim of the HAIKU Project is to deliver prototypes of AI Digital Assistants for different aviation segments and users: commercial aviation pilots, urban air mobility and sky taxis, remotely piloted drones, remote towers, and air traffic controllers. It is essential both for safe operations, and for society in general, that the people who currently keep aviation so safe can work with, train and supervise these AI systems, and that future autonomous AI systems make judgements and decisions that would be acceptable to humans.
HAIKU will pave the way for human-centric-AI by developing guidance and assurance procedures, and by exploring Human-AI Teaming via several interactive prototypes.
Three main research questions will be addressed:
• What is the recommended human-AI relationship for each of the different AI applications in aviation?
• What does it mean for AI to be explainable and hence trustworthy in each of these applications?
• How do we best teach AIs, via human-in-the-loop AI learning for each of the potential aviation applications?
The following main outputs are foreseen:
1. New Human Factors design guidance and methods (‘HF4AI’ Capabilities) on how to develop safe, effective and trustworthy Digital Assistants for Aviation
2. A set of aviation use cases – controlled experiments with high operational relevance – illustrating the tasks, roles, autonomy and team performance of the Digital Assistant in a range of normal and emergency scenarios
3. New safety and validation assurance methods for Digital Assistants, to facilitate early integration into aviation systems by aviation stakeholders and regulatory authorities
4. Continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders - e.g. policy makers, professional associations, passengers associations and general public – to deliver Guidance on socially acceptable AI in safety critical operations, and for maintaining aviation’s strong safety culture record.
