Of course it was because of a human error. A passenger plane landed on a runway that already had another plane on it. At least have a proper alerting system in place, we've had the tech for decades, you don't even need AI for any of it... but changes in commercial aviation unfortunately seem to be driven by accidents more than forethought.

I'm not sure what existing tech would have saved things? It seems the problem was the smaller plane was told to wait at a holding point and said ok but thought he could take off for some reason.

I don't want to sound crude but... really? How about a few sensors to check for aircraft presence on the runway and some way to feed that information to surrounding traffic? There's a million different ways this could be done, you just need a little bit of imagination.
