objects to the term \u201cartificial intelligence,\u201d labeling it \u201cartificial\u201d to cause unnecessary fear of job losses.<\/li>\n<li>Instead, Bastian refers to the technology as \u201caugmented intelligence\u201d aimed to enhance employees\u2019 job performance rather than replace them.<\/li>\n<li>Bastian emphasizes that Delta plans to reassign employees whose tasks are automated to customer-facing roles rather than reducing headcount.<\/li>\n<li>Bastian notes broader industry challenges including rising fuel prices and geopolitical uncertainties affecting both demand and operating costs.<\/li>\n<li>He describes a focus on maintaining financial stability through a \u201cfortress balance sheet\u201d to accommodate future disruptions.<\/li>\n<li>Delta\u2019s culture and employee profit-sharing program, which distributes 15% of annual profits to frontline staff, are highlighted.<\/li>\n<li>Bastian remains firm on the necessity of human pilots in commercial flights, suggesting this role will not be automated soon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian doesn\u2019t like the term
