Artificial Intelligence in Commercial Aviation Book - Now Released
The world's first book on AI use cases and strategies in aviation.
(Please note that there is a different cover and image for the paperback version)
Dear readers, network, and friends,
I am glad to announce that Routledge, the publishing company, has completed their work on my latest book. It is available and ships as of July 10.
This book, Artificial Intelligence in Commercial Aviation, is the world’s first book on this topic.
The goal was to stimulate visibility into the opportunities offered by AI in our industry, but also make it available to a wider audience so that it can also be used by professionals in each airline function, those new to AI, but also those individuals at universities and the like.
The book consists of four parts:
I: Applications of AI and Emerging Opportunities in (Air Transport) Operations
II: Applications of AI and Emerging Opportunities in Commercial Management
III: Artificial Intelligence and Organization
IV: Trends and Evolutions in AI.
Note: Before ChatGPT came out, the writing was on the wall, and so it is actually already included in the book under the trends section, discussing Generative AI.
