Artificial Intelligence Officially The Future Of Air Warfare - EconoTimes

Since the inception of modern fighter planes, it has always been an unspoken assumption that at some point, machines would be flying the aircraft instead of human pilots. This assumption became even more solid once Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology started to pick up. Now, new test results via simulations have shown that AIs are superior to human pilots, particularly when using fighter planes. Engineers that graduated from the University of Cincinnati programmed an AI that was able to outmaneuver and outfly fighter pilots, Wired reports. The program is called "ALPHA," and through multiple simulations against former United States Air Force Colonel Gene Lee, the AI came out significantly ahead.
