I'm calling BS on this. I cannot imagine a scenario where vast majority would be comfortable flying in a 1 pilot Airbus, augmented by AI.

I can envision where FedEx, UPS etc. freight planes are eventually flown by 1 pilot for manageable distances (e.g. Memphis to Atlanta in 2 hours), but not passenger planes.

As the aviation sector starts to embrace artificial intelligence, planes flying with just one pilot are a possibility, according to Emirates President Tim Clark.

“You might see a one-pilot aircraft,” Clark told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble Tuesday, but said it will likely take some time to come to fruition — and might not necessarily be what passengers want.

″[Passengers] like to think there are two pilots up there,” he added.
Definitely harness AI but don't think this guy knows much about inevitable bugs, hacking etc.

As the scale and power of artificial intelligence rapidly increase, it is important that the aviation sector takes a step back and assesses the difference it could make, Clark said, adding: “Harness it, use it. Don’t fear it.”
