Lion Air Incident and Air New Zealand's Airbus A320 Crash Share Similarities

Investigations suggest a potential flaw in the Angle of Attack (AOA) sensor system on the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX, leading to repeated nose dives before crashing. This issue bears striking resemblance to the 2009 Airbus A320 crash in France caused by an erroneous AOA indicator.

This underscores the importance of Responsible AI governance in ensuring safe and secure AI implementation, particularly within aviation. Through JOIN US, HISPI Project Cerebellum TAIM invites contributors to learn more about our efforts in harm prevention and guardrails for AI.
