A literature review on artificial intelligence in aviation sector

The accelerated advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) give rise to anxieties regarding workplace tasks, job security, privacy, and ethics, which significantly impact employees in the technology-intensive aviation sector. The aim of the study was to examine the level of AI anxiety among professionals in the aviation sector and to investigate whether it varies based on factors such as gender, education, age, experience, and sub-sector. A survey methodology was employed. An online questionnaire was used to collect data from 345 aviation sector employees. The AI Anxiety Scale, a 5-point Likert-based instrument, was used as the measurement tool. The analysis results indicated that AI anxiety levels among aviation sector employees were moderate (M=2.8047). AI anxiety levels were highest in the sociotechnical/blindness sub-dimension (M=3.3775) and lowest in the AI learning sub-dimension (M=2.1055). No statistically significant differences in anxiety levels were found based on age, experience, or sub-sector, whereas education level showed significant differences. Although general AI anxiety did not significantly vary by gender, a notable difference was observed in AI configuration. As AI evolves in the aviation sector, addressing employee anxieties across sub-dimensions is essential for effective integration. Given the rapid advancements in AI technology, future studies should adopt a more detailed approach, focusing on sector-specific variations and analyzing the unique structures and requirements of each aviation sub-sector.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a twenty first century evolution. Certain aspects of AI have been integrated into daily living. AI applications have also been incorporated into the aviation, banking, cyber security, educational, employment, health, and military sectors respectively. However, the unpredictable nature of AI is a cause for concern because ‘In many instances, AI remains under the control of users and designers, but in increasing numbers of applications, the behaviour of a system cannot be predicted by those involved in design and application […]. Newly developed machines are able to teach themselves and even collect data’. Consequently, ‘The potential benefits and harms of AI have led to calls for governments to adapt quickly to the changes AI is already delivering and the potentially transformative changes to come. These include calls to pause AI development and for countries […] to deliver a step-change in regulation’. ‘In March 2023, more than 1,000 artificial intelligence experts, researchers and backers signed an open letter calling for an immediate pause on the creation of “giant” AIs for at least six months, so the capabilities and dangers of such systems can be properly studied and mitigated’. What are the benefits of AI? What are the risks of AI? Which crimes can be committed via AI? What are the regulatory challenges? What has been the international response? In this article, we will explore whether there is a justification for regulating AI from ethical, legal and law enforcement perspectives.
