US Government Halts Access to Crash Data Amid AI Re-creation of Pilots' Voices
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has temporarily suspended public access to its database of civil transportation accidents. This decision follows the discovery that internet users have been using AI tools to re-create the voices of pilots from cockpit voice recorders of fatal crashes. The NTSB, which typically shares factual reports and evidence from investigations, is reviewing the materials available online that have enabled these re-creations. The move comes in response to concerns over privacy and the legal prohibition against releasing cockpit audio recordings.
