I have chosen to be a certified remote pilot. This relationship with drones and UAVs is I believe of great importance. Not just because of the military significant but the fact that drones can be used in nearly any situation where human life is at risk. Regardless of the impacts automation and AI, we will need humans that understand this information space and have internalized their study into knowledge for our societies to successfully integrate drones in the most beneficial manner possible. Right now in the United States, in the commercial sector we call these people remote pilots. And yes of course these people are supported by a whole host of other engineers as well, It takes a lot of folks to support what is basically a flying computer!
