The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is using artificial intelligence, specifically Palantir's AI tool Foundry, to analyze data and predict runway safety issues. The project, funded by a GOP-led megalaw, aims to reduce runway incursions by integrating scattered data sources and has already led to safety measures like banning parallel landings at San Francisco International Airport.
