This is scary. The idea of an AI performing such a mission-critical function is mind-boggling and terrifying. Heaven help us! And the article says that the Generalized Integrated Learning Architecture (GILA) system will learn flight controllers' tasks often by using ONLY ONE EXAMPLE. Maybe the same military contractors could learn to do psychosurgery brain operations also after going through "only one example."

The ATC problem is significantly different (in relation to brain surgery), and it is going to have a lot more information put into it with the FAA's NextGen plan. In fact maybe too much information for the "novice ATC controller".
Yes, scary and fascinating at the same time. I'm afraid we'll have to get used the idea of AI taking over more tasks and learning on it's own in the next decade, and learn how to handle it.
