“Will artificial intelligence replace human pilots?” Eventually. Not anytime soon, though. Aircraft are already programmed to be capable of landing themselves, but it still takes a pilot to handle unusual conditions.

Will airline pilots become obsolete?

This year’s graduating cadre of young cadets could possibly be the last to enjoy full, four-decade careers as traditional commercial airline pilots.

Are pilots safe from automation?

Yes. Robots in the cockpit or a fully automated commercial aircraft isn’t even something that is being discussed or airlines are looking for. While pilots are highly paid, the flying public may never accept a robot in the cockpit, and there would be tremendous risk to bring this technology to market.

Is it a good idea to become a pilot now?

There are also many situations in which a human can make better decisions than a machine can.

Will artificial intelligence take over piloting duties?

As artificial intelligence becomes more sophisticated, it’s a near-certainty that a greater portion of piloting duties will be handed over to automated systems. In an interview with the Telegraph in 2015, one Monarch pilot claimed that the autopilot “does around 90 per cent of the flying”.
