Panel discussion: AI/ML experience in airport operations, accelerating toward total airport management

Discussing what comes next: the outlook on 2nd and 3rd generation AI/ML tools and integrated Total Airport Management (TAM) platforms. Panelists will begin by introducing their previous airports' use cases of AL/ML projects for airport operations, share lessons learned, and the issues that airports today need to consider when assessing system requirements, implementation, and deploying artificial intelligence effectively and responsibly. The panel will discuss the journey ahead to support TAM, future developments and desired outcomes.

The audience will learn:

• The progress about operational AI/ML technology use at airports around the world
• Not all airport systems need to be AI/ML driven at once
