Automation in aviation has gone far beyond the autopilot function. Artificial intelligence is now enabling the development of both on-board and airport systems. In early July 2024, it was reported that Japan's largest airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA), together with Toyota Industries, are beginning tests of an autonomous vehicle to tow cargo containers at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
On 12 July 2024, the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 June 2024 laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence was published in the Official Journal of the European Commission. This is the first legal act in the world that comprehensively regulates issues related to the broadly understood use of artificial intelligence.
