SMART denies flight blame

Technology expert Hussein al-Omari said the suspension of flights across the United States had raised security questions, while authorities had yet to announce the real cause of the outage. Officials denied that it was caused by a cyberattack or foreign interference, and also denied responsibility on the part of the SMART artificial intelligence system, which was launched three days ago and covers 200 functions, including 22 air traffic control centers—all of which were affected by the crisis. Al-Omari added that the system’s developer had denied responsibility, and that linking the crisis to the need to update the old system did not explain its actual cause.
