    Contrails and Climate Change - Adam Durant - SATAVIA

    Adam Durant   Carbon dioxide emissions have received all of the focus when it comes to aviation and climate change. However, it is a very little known fact that CO2 only comprises a third of the total warming effect that aviation has on the atmosphere. The other two thirds of aviation induced climate warming comes from contrail formation. It has been found that by rerouting aircraft away from certain parts of the atmosphere you can prevent contrail formation.  This rerouting has a negligible fuel impact in the order of hundreds of percent with a massive atmospheric warming reduction, in the order of tens of percent.  But how do you do that? Well, this is where this week's guest comes in. Adam Durant. Adam is the CEO of SATAVIA, a software company that has developed the atmospheric modelling and predictive tools required to proactively re-route aircraft to prevent contrail formation. And in turn eliminating huge portions of aviation's climate impact with technology available today.

    What it's like to lose your flying job - Nick Copland

    Nick Copland   The other side to autonomous aircraft are pilots losing their jobs.   On this episode of deep sky, we look at something slightly different. As artificial intelligence slowly advances, experimental aircraft are becoming exponentially more capable in their ability to perceive their environment and in turn, fly the plane. The other side of enabling semi or fully autonomous aircraft is that less pilots may be needed in the cockpits of the world's airliners. Today we explore what it is like to lose your job as a pilot and for that we are in conversation with Nick Copland. Nick ceased flying in March of 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic first swept the world. As at the time of recording in May of 2021 he still was yet to step back into a cockpit. Before COVID he was the technical pilot for the Boeing fleet at Jetstar Australia and a 787 first officer.  Our conversation explores the mental and emotional journey that starts when you are told you can't fly any more, we look at some of the challenges along the way and briefly discuss the future of pilotless aircraft.   If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.

    Ethical, Trustworthy AI, Lee Glazier - Rolls-Royce

    This week's guest is Lee Glazier, he is the head of Service Integrity at Rolls Royce and led the development of the Aletheia Framework, which is the subject of today's conversation. We go straight into discussing the framework so I will spend a minute or two explaining what it actually is. The actual Aletheia Framework under discussion today is an A3 sized checklist aimed to be a clear, 32-step process that any organisation can follow so that its AI is accurate, well-managed and has a positive impact on the world. And, just like an audit, it incorporates the requirement to provide real evidence that the step has been completed.   If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.    Lee Glazier  Aletheia Framework  Northernlands3 - Caroline Gorski Aletheia Framework overview  RAeS Webinar: Artificial Intelligence and Aviation Start at 18:40 for Lee.

    Conor McKenna - AI Human Communications Performance - Vocavio

    This weeks guest is Conor McKenna, he is the founder and CEO of Vocavio technologies.  Vocavio is an Irish company that is looking at a section of voice recognition technology that has escaped the mainstream media - tonal analysis, or more specifically, prosodic accommodation. They are creating advanced analysis tools that are able to monitor the performance of flight crews, military personnel and other teams of people in safety critical environments that can offer instructors and practitioners alike better awareness of their performance in these environments. In this conversation we discuss voice, performance monitoring, data collection and adaptive autonomy in aircraft.If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.   Vocavio: https://vocavio.com/ Conor McKenna: https://www.linkedin.com/in/conormckenna/ LinkedIn Me

    Mikhail Klassen - AI Powered Flight Instruction

    This weeks guest is Mikhail Klassen, who is the Chief Technology Officer of Paladin AI. Mikhail has a BSc in Applied Physics & Applied Math from Columbia University, where he worked on experiments related to nuclear fusion and gravitational wave detection. He then completed a PhD in computational astrophysics at McMaster University before turning to artificial intelligence.  Paladin AI are a Montreal based startup that is harnessing the power of machine learning to create AI powered flight instructors. Paladin currently creates "Instruct IQ", which is a training management dashboard that can provide highly tailored and adaptive training recommendations to help reduce the time and cost of and increase effectiveness of pilot training. Paladin aims to build instructor assistance systems on their way to the ultimate goal of creating fully capable artificial flight instruction.If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.   https://paladin.ai/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikhailklassen/ LinkedIn Me

    Fully Autonomous Aircraft - Luuk Van Dijk - Daedalean AI

    This week we have a conversation with Luuk Van Dijk, he is the CEO and founder of Daedalean AI. A Zurich based company that is creating autopilots that will enable manned aircraft to fly autonomously. Luuk has a PhD in physics and has spent time working at both Google and SpaceX before starting his company. He sits on the SAE G-34 Artificial Intelligence in Aviation committee and has recently collaborated with EASA on concepts of design assurance for neural networks. Daedalean is currently developing pilot assistance systems with an eye to eventually creating a system that can fully fly and manage an aircraft, including making all of the in-flight judgement calls that a pilot would typically make. Their initial pilot assistance offering consists of three products. Landing assistance for the normal and emergency case, navigation and detect and avoid assistance. In order to make these a reality, they are developing advanced image recognition capabilities, tailored for the aviation domain. This image recognition is primarily built upon the deep neural network software architecture which is closely associated with "AI" If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.   Daedalean website Collaboration with EASA LinkedIn Me

    Ethics of AI in Aviation - Bryant Walker Smith

    In our conversation today we cover the ethical considerations inherent in the introduction of automated vehicles into society. We discuss what this means for companies and leaders of those companies in terms of the centralisation of power, trust, law and how these things interplay with safety critical systems.  This really is a look at what we as an aviation industry need to be thinking about now, and doing next.If you have any questions about the future of artificial intelligence in aviation, or are wondering how you can use it in your aviation business, then visit deepskyai.com to get started on your AI journey.Bryant's Website: newlypossible.org LinkedIn Me

    A primer to AI in aviation

    This is a primer on AI in the aviation world. I'll start off by introducing what AI actually is, then we will take a walk around the aviation industry and look at how it is touching different parts of it. Then, we will look a little deeper at the issues that we are facing as an industry and what needs to happen next in order for our future to be better than the past.
