An AI Just Defeated Human Fighter Pilots in An Air Combat Simulator

Retired United States Air Force Colonel Gene Lee recently went up against ALPHA, an artificial intelligence developed by a University of Cincinnati doctoral graduate. In fact, all the other AI's that the Air Force Research Lab had in their possession also lost to ALPHA…and so did all of the other human experts who tried their skills against ALPHA's superior algorithms. And did we mention ALPHA achieves superiority while running on a 35 Raspberry Pi? Saying that Lee is experienced when it comes to aerial combat is a remarkable understatement. He is an instructor who has trained with thousands of U.S. Air Force pilots. he is also an Air Battle Manager who has been fighting against AI opponents in air combat simulations since the 1980s. Yet, he was not successful in winning against ALPHA.
