  D A ILY INNOVATION BRIEF                By Journalists Edward Kane & Marya nne Kane MIT CREATES AI CO-PILOT FOR SAFER FLYING                                                  Source:  MIT MIT C-SAIL scientists are developing an AI co-pilot to greatly increase the safety of flying.  Some key facts: AI co-pilot system is called Air Guardian Creates a 2-pilot system - the human and an AI computer co-pilot If the human pilot is distracted, the AI co-pilot takes over  MIT says it blends human intuition with machine learning Also promotes a more symbiotic relationship between the human and the aircraft Computer system analyzes what the pilot is focusing on by tracking eye movements This new AI system relies on attention Computer uses eye tracking on the pilot as well as its neural network that employs unique mapping to determine attention and gaps in the human pilot's attention This is being called a partnership between a human and a machine, based on understanding attention and all
