If you work in cybersecurity, it has changed you life. The pace of everything has increased exponentially. AI both makes the job easier, and harder, at the same time.
Hasn't that been true of marketing websites for a long time?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was trying to make the point (which I think is in line with your point) that the fact that AI is involved here doesn't make a difference. It is a tool, but the people using the tool are (as always) responsible for the outcome.
But machines don't do things. People do things, and they use tools/machines to do those things more easily or efficiently.

So I imagine planes in other countries exist, but the US FAA doesn't have data on them.

But I bet if you filter for airports that business jets park at, the percentage of airports without towers is much lower than the overall average.
