The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has suspended public access to its database of civil transportation accidents following the unauthorized reconstruction of pilots' voices from a fatal cargo plane crash using AI tools. This action was taken due to federal law prohibiting the public release of audio from cockpit voice recorders. On May 21, the NTSB announced that its online docket system was 'temporarily unavailable' as it reviews materials that allowed individuals to recreate cockpit audio from investigations, including the ongoing investigation into the crash of UPS flight 2976 in Louisville, Kentucky. The NTSB stated that it does not release cockpit audio recordings.
