You’d think they were already investigating the use of automation in emergencies. Like going through checklists, debugging situations in real time, etc…it seems like an area where AI could actually be useful beyond current auto pilot/landing tech.

It's just a bunch of if conditions, no need for AI. The problem is that sometimes something not planned in those if conditions happens, and then you need deduction and high knowledge of physics and the aircraft systems.

You just killed a Copilot

This is an argument for offloading checklists to an automated system. Not having more pilots to run more checklists.

On modern planes there is a very high degree of automation already. But it's a fine balance, because too complex automations can be confusing or unpredictable to the pilots. There are a few crashes due to pilots not understanding/fighting with automation.
