aviation discussion

A white paper is a publication from an industry or government source that addresses a particular problem or issue and often advocates for a solution. Government white papers are typically informative in nature and neutral, while think tank and industry white papers may have a more persuasive intent. The advantage of white papers over scholarly, peer-reviewed literature is that white papers often target a more general audience in an accessible style. Also, the lag time for white papers is shorter, so they often contain more current information. When reading a white paper, be cognizant of the organization and its agenda.

For this discussion, find a government or industry white paper published within the last five years that addresses automation, autonomy, or AI in aviation and complete the following:

• Post a 300 to 400-word analysis of the white paper, including a summary and your critical analysis of the content. In your analysis, consider the factors influencing human-automation interaction, including automation complacency, trust, and transparency.
• Include a link to the full text of the paper.
• Post your analysis and the link to this discussion. Your primary post is due by day four of the module week.
• Choose one of your peers’ white papers, and respond to their post by the end of the module week, explaining what you think the author’s intent was and any bias that intent might have introduced.
