NTSB pulls 42 crash dockets offline due to AI audio reconstruction

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has removed 42 aviation accident investigation dockets from public access. This action was taken after individuals utilized artificial intelligence to reconstruct restricted cockpit audio recordings from static spectrogram images. The AI's ability to reverse-engineer these audio files from visual data prompted the NTSB to restrict access to these sensitive investigation records. AI
