Abstract

This study examines whether the integration of AI (artificial intelligence) enhances cybersecurity in aviation. Cybersecurity’s goal is to provide a safe data transfer while maintaining integrity and confidentiality. In aviation, companies strive for efficiency in their operations. The use of computers and AI-driven components is to build trust among passengers and companies. Scientific reports were carried out with different perspectives to look at the various implications of technology. AI has helped respond to cyber threats quickly and more efficiently than humans. However, it has introduced new complexities that require human intervention. Experts must respond to the level of threats to prevent false alarms. Qualitative data is used throughout the research to see how different components respond to threats effectively. Overall, it was found that there should be a balance between technology and humans to safeguard passengers' data instead of companies being completely reliant on such technology to a greater extent.
