What Happens When AI Fighter Pilots Take to the Skies?

#artificialintelligence

In 2022, the pilot of an F-16 fighter jet will jink hard to the right and flick over into a roll, struggling to evade the plane behind them. Years of training and experience will suddenly become redundant. The AI algorithm controlling the chasing plane will have changed the face of war forever. AI first demonstrated the sorts of aerobatic skills needed for dogfighting back in 2008. Andrew Ng's team at Stanford University developed an AI-piloted helicopter that learned how to perform stunts simply by watching human pilots.
