Thanks for stopping by. We're still trying to figure out how to convince aerospace that they can use learning / adaptive software safely. The first reaction is always - what if it decides to do something crazy?

I’d have a really big problem with using learning/adaptive software (did someone say AI?) in safety-critical aerospace applications because such software deliberately fudges the boundaries of what it can and cannot do. That’s where learning occurs - at the edges of the envelope.

But, the edges of the envelope in aero software gets people killed.

I’m very skeptical, but not for the “crazy” reason. I distrust the “unexpected” solutions, too!

I’m in the certification side of aero software, BTW.
