Formula One of the SKIES! Watch the incredible moment an AI pilot BEATS three human champions in a drone race

Artificial intelligence (AI) in sport may sound like something from a science fiction movie. But unbelievable footage has captured the moment an AI pilot overthrows three human champions in a fierce drone race. Drone racing world champion, Alex Vanover, was among the trio of professionals thrashed by AI as it won an impressive 15 of 25 trials in a Swiss-based study. The so-called'Swift' technology mastered speeds of over 62mph (100kmh), with a reaction time that was 120 milliseconds faster than humans on average. Its impressive track record is a milestone for scientists at the University of Zurich, who sought to move this pioneering technology beyond board games.
