Accelerating safe AI adoption in aviation through rigorous evaluation and benchmarking
Airside Labs is a specialised AI research and development company focused on aviation sector innovation. We help businesses validate AI performance and achieve product-market fit faster through comprehensive testing frameworks and domain-specific benchmarks.
To bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and safe, reliable deployment for passenger travel and aviation use cases. We believe that proper evaluation is essential before AI systems can be trusted in business environments.
Our flagship aviation AI evaluation framework, accepted into the UK AI Security Institute's collection of evaluations. Pre-flight tests Large Language Models' understanding of aviation operations, safety protocols, and real-world constraints.
We create custom benchmarks that go beyond standard metrics to test:
Aviation AI systems must understand:
Generic benchmarks like MMLU miss these critical domain requirements.
We're building a community of aviation professionals and AI researchers. Whether you're:
We'd love to collaborate!
