Lufthansa Group EVP highlights need for AI standards in aviation
Lufthansa Group EVP strategy Tamur Goudarzi Pour, speaking at the CAPA Airline Leader Summit - Airlines in Transition 2026, called (23-Apr-2026) for industry-wide standards to manage AI's autonomy and ensure responsible use. Mr Goudarzi Pour stated: "At the moment, it's wild west a bit for us as an industry. And I think we, together with IATA, have the obligation here also to see what the minimum requirements are".
