Without delving into the dangers of AGI, such systems could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. The implications of such revolutionary technologies, such as super-intelligence, if aligned with our goals, could feasibly replace pilots, controllers, etc. A super-intelligent AI network of controllers and aircraft doesn't seem far fetched after all, not in this century.
You may well be right. But, what is the human population going to do to earn its keep & pay for its travel on these computerized travel systems ? Strikes me that we'll have a wonderful social & industrial system with no one able to afford to use them because we are all out of work !
