Survey Examines Maritime Professionals' Attitudes Toward AI Decision Support
A new arXiv paper reports on a survey of maritime professionals regarding their perceptions of and trust in AI-supported decision-making tools and autonomous surface ships. The authors argue that how crews and operators view these systems will shape whether they can be integrated safely into real-world maritime operations. The work focuses on operator attitudes as a key factor in adoption rather than on technical performance alone.
