Press Release: Ocasio-Cortez and House Democrats Urge FAA Pause on AI Air Traffic Tool at Washington-Area Airports

Investivoq CongressRadar

Lawmakers urge the FAA to pause an AI air traffic tool, citing safety, transparency, consultation, and accountability concerns.

Investivoq AI Summary

Lawmakers seek pause on FAA AI tool: Six House Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, said they are leading a letter asking the FAA to pause use of a new AI-enabled air traffic management tool at Washington-area airports until more questions are answered about safety testing, oversight, and rollout.

Concerns raised about testing and training: The letter cites the September deployment of the SMART tool at Reagan National, Dulles, and BWI and asks for details on what evaluations were done, who was consulted, what training staff received, and how the FAA will measure the system before any wider expansion.

Officials call for transparency: The lawmakers said modernizing air traffic control should not come before public safety, and they want the FAA and Transportation Department to explain how the system works and who would be responsible if it contributed to an incident.
