Dr. Piotr Dlugiewicz Presents on AI in Aviation Education
at EAA AirVenture 2024
At this year’s EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Dr. Piotr Dlugiewicz,
the Founder of Imagine Flying, delivered an insightful presentation titled "Artificial Intelligence in Aviation Education - A Practical Guide." This talk was part of the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI) Professional Development Center (PDC) series, which is dedicated to advancing the skills and knowledge of aviation educators.
Presentation Highlights
Dr. Dlugiewicz's presentation at EAA AirVenture 2024 introduced the new and important topic of AI in aviation education, emphasizing the necessity for instructors to understand this transformative tool. Artificial Intelligence, particularly Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), is poised to revolutionize aviation training by not only automating routine tasks but also by enabling high-level mass-customization of training to individual students' needs and leveraging more engaging, dynamic content. However, Dr. Dlugiewicz also highlighted the potential risks, such as the possibility of "hallucinations" or incorrect outputs, and stressed the importance of mitigating these challenges through strategies like cross-verifying information and crafting specific prompts. By embracing AI, aviation educators can significantly enhance the training experience, making it more efficient, personalized, and effective.
