Vision

To enable AI to enhance aerospace efficiency, sustainability, and scalability, while ensuring safety, security, consumer protection, and environmental sustainability through proportionate governance.

Our Strategic Response

AI presents both opportunities and challenges for aviation safety and efficiency. We will regulate AI across the sector while also using it responsibly within our own organisation to enhance our capabilities. Our AI Framework provides the foundation for building trust in AI through common language, ethical principles, and technological understanding.

To meet these challenges, we are working closely with international partners, standards bodies, and industry stakeholders. We aim to align our approach with global best practices while ensuring it meets the specific needs of UK aviation. This includes contributing to the development of standards and sharing knowledge with other regulators.
