NTSB Halts Public Docket Over AI-Recreated Cockpit Voices
The NTSB has temporarily disabled its online docket after spectrograms from a cockpit voice recording from UPS Flight 2976 allowed AI-based reconstruction of pilots’ voices, highlighting the 1990 federal ban on publicly releasing cockpit audio. The agency typically restricts access and relies on manual transcription for investigations, and is reviewing how public materials can be used as AI tools enable re-creations before restoring the docket.
