An upcoming event to display and test AI-powered jet fighters will now be held virtually due to COVID-19. "We are still excited to see how the AI algorithms perform against each other as well as a Weapons School-trained human and hope that fighter pilots from across the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as military leaders and members of the AI tech community will register and watch online," said Col. Dan Javorsek, program manager in DARPA's Strategic Technology Office. "It's been amazing to see how far the teams have advanced AI for autonomous dogfighting in less than a year." DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is using the AlphaDogfight Trial event to recruit more AI developers for its Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program. The upcoming event is the final in a series of three and will finish with a bang as the AI-powered F-16 fighter planes virtually take on a human pilot.
