Opened in February 2005, the airport replaced the smaller Chamonate Airport near the city due to the airport unable to expand growth and the meter was too short to handle larger narrowbody planes like the A320 and 737-800s.
The Atacama VOR-DME (Ident: DAT) is located 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) off the approach threshold of Runway 35.[3]

One common illustration of problems which could happen with sufficiently powerful AI (there's even a great game about it at https://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/index2.html) is a "paperclip maximizer", which is programmed to make paperclips for a factory owner or something, and eventually attempts to convert the entire universe into paperclips to maximize an objective defined as "have as many paperclips as possible".||)
