and remediate is going to put pressure on critical infrastructure organisations – an organisation like an airline,” Deneen points out.
Why is this a major problem for airlines? It’ s because, she says,“ we cannot tolerate downtime”.“ We don’ t take big planned outages because we’ re running 24 / 7 operations.“ So if we have an onset of vulnerabilities or remediation that needs to happen, we need to start thinking about how we become more resilient, more responsive to be able to react at that machine speed.
“ We’ re doing a lot of cool things to be able to do that,”
The AI muscle in aviation Deneen explains the commitment of United Airlines to using emerging technologies like AI to help take the bundle of complex operational information and make it useful, visible and consumable by our customer.
