Artificial intelligence to make you fly

Like every other sphere of our modern lives, artificial intelligence (AI) has also made its way into civil aviation. The AI market, created by giant tech companies that develop software to help pilots and passengers alike, is growing. According to a market report, AI in the aviation sector is worth $152 million today and is expected to rise in value to $2.2 billion in 2024. In the U.S. and Europe, airline giants have been using AI for the last few years. Most recently in April, Air Canada and WestJet, one of Canada's largest airlines, announced that they were investing in AI technologies. WestJet CEO Ed Sims said that they are planning to launch a "virtual concierge service," like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home.
