CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo noted the FAA rolled out a new AI traffic system the same day the United States experienced a nationwide ground stop.
I have a guess. Duffy mentioned routers, and outdated systems. They deny it was thus AI thing. However, new AI thing probably make assumptions about network capacity. They bring on sweet new tool, I overloads the entire infrastructure that was built decades ago, and brings the entire thing to a standstill. Bringing it back up meant slowly disabling the new tool. My working theory.

Probably a combination of that and general human incompetence in using or developing the tool
