EASA’s AI consultation will initially cover AI-based assistance and human-AI teaming considerations.

EASA has launched its first regulatory proposal on artificial intelligence (AI) for aviation, with the public consultation now open for three months. Notice of Proposed Amendment 2025-07 aims to “help prepare for the future requirements for AI-based assistance and AI-human teaming.” This, EASA continued, is intended to help establish a “comprehensive AI-trustworthiness regulatory framework” that will allow for the safe and innovative integration of the technology into the aviation sector.

Areas of focus include providing guidance on AI assurance, human factors, and ethics, alongside encompassing data-driven AI-based systems. EASA adds that this foundation “should significantly reduce the operational safety risks associated with the deployment of high-risk AI applications.”
