Miami International Airport (MIA)<\/a> may have mystery liquids gushing from the ceilings<\/a> and non-functioning elevators, walkways, and escalators, but don\u2019t worry: it will soon get an AI-powered hologram chatbot (whatever that may mean).<\/p>\n

According to a Miami-Dade County press release<\/a>, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava will unveil the \u201cfirst-of-its-kind\u201d AI-powered hologram chatbot at the eMerge Americas technology conference on Thursday, April 23, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The technology will mark \u201ca major milestone in how Miami-Dade County is using artificial intelligence to transform public service,\u201d it adds. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this launch, MIA becomes the first airport in the world to deploy large-scale geo-aware, agentic AI across its digital infrastructure, enhancing the passenger journey through real-time, location-based intelligence and natural, conversational interaction across web, mobile, kiosks, and on-site interfaces,\u201d the press release reads. <\/p>\n

After news of the airport technology hit the X-sphere, formerly known as the Twittersphere, many Miamians shared their thoughts. They certainly had questions, particularly how much this new technology will cost the county and if it will help fix the broken infrastructure all around the airport. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis doesn\u2019t upgrade the passenger experience at all and is more evidence of the county wasting taxpayer funds on third parties and party tricks rather than addressing the fact that the airport looks like a third-world bus depot from the 70s,\u201d one X user responded. <\/p>\n

Another added, \u201cCool story! Can you please fix the people movers now?\u201d<\/p>\n

One quipped, \u201cBut they [sic] escalators and elevators are constantly broken. Priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

One X user wanted to know: \u201cI wonder if the chatbot can answer when all the moving walkways and escalators be repaired?\u201d<\/p>\n

A different X user got creative in the meme department. <\/p>\n

Aside from the elevator, escalator, and walkway breakdowns, MIA was recently ranked among the nation\u2019s most stressful airports<\/a> by the travel technology company Mozio.<\/p>\n

However, improvements are supposedly on the way. Over the next ten years, MIA is undergoing a $9 billion renovation<\/a> to modernize the airport, completely redevelop the central terminal, build a new concourse that expands the south terminal, renovate concourse D gates, and, most importantly, upgrade all of the airport\u2019s elevators, escalators, and moving walkways. <\/p>\n

The renovations will allow the airport to welcome more than 77 million travelers and four million tons of freight by 2040, according to MIA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Construction in progress at Miami International Airport.
