The work of flight attendants is human-generated edge cases. From an important document falling between seats to a passenger that needs calming to spotting and persuading passengers to deal with trip hazards to emergencies, the work of a flight attendant is not just greeting - but even that's a mitigation factor for these human problems. A compliment perhaps, but robotic arms to help lift luggage overhead have never been needed when the system can be engineered so carry-on's limited to 5kg.
Will AI glasses help with heart attacks - perhaps, but when an airline's credibly reported have eliminate cherry tomatoes for a cost saving [1] it'll need to pay it's way.
The more airlines competing the better the service quality. But these days thanks to consolidation, they can raise prices/drop quality and customers have to deal with it cause they have fewer alternatives - https://www.axios.com/2023/12/08/airline-mergers-us-airline-...
Picture this: you step onto a sleek, modern aircraft, excitement coursing through your veins as you prepare for your journey. As you settle into your seat, a pleasant chime rings out, drawing your attention to the front of the cabin. Instead of the familiar sight of a human flight attendant, you're greeted by an elegant AI humanoid, seamlessly blending human-like features with advanced technology.
This scenario, once the realm of science fiction, is now on the horizon of air travel. With artificial intelligence (AI) advancing at an unprecedented pace, the idea of AI flight attendants, or AI humanoids as we'll refer to them, is becoming increasingly plausible. But the question remains: would you feel comfortable entrusting your comfort and safety to a machine at 30,000 feet? Join us as we delve into the thrilling – albeit slightly unsettling – possibilities of AI-powered air travel.
