Boeing Co. and Airbus SE have been grappling with supply chain issues like parts and labor that were only exacerbated by the COVID pandemic.

The FAA flagged dozens of manufacturing issues for Boeing's 737 Max aircraft as part of an audit released in March. 

The Administration said these principles should be considered during the whole lifecycle of AI – from design to development, testing, training, deployment and use, oversight, and auditing.

Unlike conventional software, which becomes outdated as time passes, newer AI-driven machine-learning systems become increasingly sophisticated with age.

A shift to shorter supply chains not only helps manage the unpredictability of costs, but also strengthens supply chain resilience by reducing dependency on distant suppliers.

Under the terms of the 2021 deal, Boeing was placed on a three-year probationary period, which ended days after the January door plug incident.

Paredes further alleged that it was "just a matter of time before something bad happened," referencing a blown-out door plug aboard a 737 Max 9 in January.

An internal Boeing memo said that “several people had been violating company policies by not performing a required test, but recording the work as having been completed.”
