I've dreamed of having an AI model run ATC.

Just train an AI on ATC recordings and other data, maybe throw in some reinforcement learning,and then test it in low-stakes commercial airspace (like a regional airport)

What is "low stakes"? This is quite literally life-or-death.

Also, just FYI -- airports don't hire their own ATC; it's all FAA (or the equivalent wherever you are located.)

Sounds good! Maybe you can start a business and have a low-stakes regional airport work with you. I think the main way to do it is as an add-on/assistant for the existing toolset.
