Even though a new air traffic control AI system began a rollout this week, the company responsible is not taking the blame for Friday’s nationwide FAA grounding order – and Microsoft, which suffered a devastating outage Thursday, is doing the same. The FAA’s new AI-powered program is called the SMART system, a tool from Air Space Intelligence that uses AI to monitor air traffic and prevent delays. Some speculation online pointed to the new system. But the company posted on X: “The current ground stop is not based on or a result of the SMART system, any product of ASI or our integration with FAA and ATC.” Similarly, since Microsoft 365, most notably the Outlook email system, went down for hours Thursday, some figure the FAA “telecommunications” issues were related.

When should friendship adjust for differences in wealth?
