An aviation expert and founder of Funcaul Technologies, Abimbola Caulcrick, has called on the Federal Government to adopt artificial intelligence for smoother operations at Nigerian airports.
He said the adoption of AI would help facilitate a reduction in the processing time.
Speaking to Sunday PUNCH, Caulcrick said many systems in other countries were AI and had significantly improved processing times through their adoption of AI at their various airports.
Caulcrick said, “A lot of systems are artificially intelligent. For instance, security systems like scanners can significantly help to reduce the processing time.
“Online check-in is what people have been doing to reduce time; passengers can be encouraged to do online check-in before coming to the airport.”
The aviation expert noted that a fully automated system would do everything without the presence of a manual operator on the ground.
He said, “I know a particular company in Israel where scanning is automated. So, artificial intelligence does everything. If there’s any issue, it sends the information to the operator’s phone, and the operator doesn’t have to be there physically to resolve it because everything has been included in the system. They don’t need a manual operator checking the screen.”
