5 storiesThe short versionThe FAA took its SMART AI tool nationwide three days before a ground stop, and Elon Musk backed a petition to bring Jensen Huang back to Nvidia.Full rundown
The FAA's AI scheduling tool, SMART, had only ever worked the skies around Washington, D.C. On November 10 the agency said it would run in all 22 of its centers. Then on November 13 every U.S. airport stopped sending planes out, because of what the FAA called communication issues at several centers. It lifted the stop that night. ASI says SMART wasn't the cause. The FAA hasn't named one.
Huang quit Nvidia on November 12. A day later Elon Musk said on X he'd sign a petition to bring him back, and Brad Gerstner and Gavin Baker each wrote to the board, which is who actually decides. Colette Kress is running things until then.
