In today's episode, significant updates from federal agencies are highlighted, shaping the future of aviation and artificial intelligence. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established a backup system for the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system following a major outage in January 2023. This critical step addresses one of the most severe disruptions to air traffic since the September 11 attacks and includes the formation of a NOTAM Task Force and revised maintenance protocols. These measures aim to prevent future outages and enhance the communication of flight-related information.

Additionally, the Department of Energy's (DOE) new roadmap for its Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence for Science, Security, and Technology (FASST) program was released. This strategic plan outlines the DOE’s commitment to integrating AI into national security and energy innovation. It highlights efforts to expand AI-capable infrastructure and develop reliable AI technologies across its network of national laboratories.
