The FAA is expanding its $875 million AI advising system, SMART, from the Washington DC airspace to all 22 air traffic control centers nationwide. Since September 21, it helped reroute 180 flights, saving an average of 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight. Airline executives support the rollout, but the air traffic controllers' union says it was not involved in designing or testing the system.
