A team of researchers has developed an artificial intelligence that can outperform and beat human pilots in combat. The new AI, called ALPHA, was tested in flight simulations, with the results published in the Journal of Defence Management. The AI was assessed in a simulator by an expert in combat tactics, retired US Air Force Colonel Gene Lee.
“It seemed to be aware of my intentions and reacting instantly to my changes in flight and my missile deployment. It knew how to defeat the shot I was taking. It moved instantly between defensive and offensive actions as needed,” Lee said after the first test.
According to Lee, most AI systems can be beaten by experienced human pilots. During simulated engagement with ALPHA, however, Lee didn’t manage to score a single kill and was repeatedly shot down.
