The article discusses the progress made by the US military in developing an artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of piloting fighter jets. According to an Air Force officer, the AI pilot has demonstrated remarkable advancements, outperforming human pilots in certain scenarios. The AI system, known as the Artificial Intelligence Exploration (AIX) program, has been trained using simulations and data from experienced pilots. It has shown the ability to execute complex maneuvers and make split-second decisions, potentially enhancing combat effectiveness. However, the officer emphasized that the AI pilot is not intended to replace human pilots entirely but rather to augment their capabilities and serve as a force multiplier. The program aims to leverage AI’s strengths in processing vast amounts of data and making rapid decisions, while human pilots retain control over critical decisions. The development of the AI fighter jet pilot is part of the US military’s broader efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into various domains, including logistics, intelligence analysis, and cybersecurity.
