Abstract

Abstract: Recent years have witnessed rapid development of artificial intelligence application in aviation industry. In order to illustrate some basic but fundamental concepts, the definition of artificial intelligence and intelligence levels are discussed. Experts generally agree that it will not be a commonly accepted definition of AI in decades, and the industrial community should deal with the certainty and uncertainty of state of art artificial intelligence with dialectical perspectives. For intelligence systems that execute specific tasks in certain military context, classifying their intelligence level is unnecessary. From the perspective of general history of development, airborne missiles, airborne system and trustworthiness, the characteristics and trends of artificial intelligence adoption in aviation industry are illustrated. The importance of trustworthiness of artificial intelligence in aviation as a precondition for better adoption is emphasized.

Key words: artificial intelligence, intelligence level, autonomous level, airborne missiles, airborne system, trustworthiness
