As digital tools become more central to its operations, Southwest Airlines is increasingly turning to AI and automation to prevent endpoint issues from affecting the sprawling airline.
The new tools allow the company’s IT team to take a more strategic, rather than reactive, approach to operations, said Derek Whisenhunt, head of end user computing at Southwest Airlines.
“Bottom line is we now focus our team’s time on proactive and preventative work and increasing the digital employee experience and not waiting for issues to arise before focusing on them,” said Whisenhunt.
Southwest has been steadily digitizing frontline workflows for the past decade, replacing paper-based operational processes with mobile devices and cloud applications for its maintenance, flight operations, and gate services workers — and even cabin crews.
The Dallas-based company has largely digitized operations for its 72,000 staffers — two-thirds of which are in frontline roles — replacing the printed manuals used

A Senate bill designed to protect children from AI chatbots is drawing fire from civil liberties advocates who say it would do something far more dangerous: build the infrastructure for identity-linked online surveillance while restricting access to constitutionally protected speech. The GUARD Act, introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley, would mandate age verification for accessing “AI companions,” the category of AI systems designed for human-like conversational interactions. Users under 18 would be banned entirely.

Ultima’s new AI-powered Turbo Bot automates the layer above — strategy, regime, and tuning. You’re already automating — most traders just don’t think of it that way, treating it more as a matter of discipline and emotional control. Limit orders, stop-losses and take-profits, weekend DCA — all of it is proto-automation offloaded to an exchange. But how precise are those rules, and are they enough to give one an edge in the market? Somewhere between 60% and 75% of trading volume in major global markets is generated by algorithms, according to industry estimates. The rails the market actually runs on are not your bracket orders — they may be textbook-correct, but just aren’t in the same league as what is executing on the other side of
