AI can be a useful tool in certain situations. The issue is that humans can become complacent, disinterested and inattentive if an AI appears to be doing their work. We see this too in things like “self driving” - yeah the car seems to be working right up until the moment it isn’t and if the driver wasn’t paying attention, they’re dead.

I could see entirely the same thing playing out with ATC. AI can have uses in an airport but it really does depend on what those uses are.
