The NTSB tries to keep cockpit audio recordings private. AI is making that harder
UPS Flight 2976 crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 15 people, including all three pilots. NTSB temporarily removed public documents for thousands of investigations after inadvertently enabling audio reconstruction from cockpit voice recordings. AI advances made it easier to reconstruct audio from digital images published during the investigation. Investigators heard a high-pitched ringing sound beginning just after the plane rotated for takeoff but could not identify it. NTSB created spectrograms—visual frequency representations—and posted them publicly, which enabled reconstruction attempts by others.
"The National Transportation Safety Board temporarily pulled down public documents for thousands of investigations last week after the agency inadvertently allowed the reconstruction of audio recordings from the cockpit of UPS flight 2976, which crashed shortly after takeoff in Louisville, Ky. last year, killing 15 people, including all three pilots."
