Is AI involved in today’s FAA nationwide ground stop?

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin doesn’t know yet — though he does know to chide reporters for not calling it “super intelligence,” because vocally associating your shiny new AI rebrand with a massive air travel mess is PR 101. [Video: FAA AI Markwayne Mullin]
