This AI system locates drone pilots flying too close to airports

Scientists have built an AI tool that finds drone pilots flying dangerously close to airports or protected airspace. The system aims to reduce the risks drones pose to aircraft. Not only can they collide with planes, but they can also interfere with radio signals, causing a pilot to lose control of the aircraft. These risks have already caused chaos at a number of airports. Most notoriously, London's Gatwick airport was forced to shut down in December 2018 after drones were spotted near the runway.
