This paper aims to examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in aviation, with a particular focus on its impact on decision-making and safety. The objective of the paper is to analyse the development and current state of AI technologies, including machine learning and deep learning, and to assess their application across various areas of aviation. The paper highlights the integration of AI in aircraft design and manufacturing, air traffic management, airport operations, and emerging air mobility systems such as drones and U-space. Special attention is given to the legal, ethical, and safety implications associated with AI adoption in aviation environments. The paper also addresses the interaction between human operators and AI technologies, particularly in cockpits, maintenance processes, and air traffic control. In conclusion, the paper outlines the potential benefits and challenges of AI in aviation and provides insight into its future direction and further development in the field.
