If a company can answer specifically, the AI is real; if it resorts to vague adjectives like 'smarter' or 'seamless,' the label is doing work the software cannot. Applied to aviation, Murnane highlights predictive maintenance as a clear example of real AI — with measurable predictions and quantifiable error costs. He also warns against two common failure modes: rebranding old statistical models as AI, and bolting LLMs onto unchanged workflows. Jet.AI itself has pivoted from private aviation software to AI data center infrastructure, applying the same loss-function discipline to infrastructure: compute demand is the prediction, megawatts delivered and uptime are the measurable outputs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
