Kina vs. USA i utviklingen av AI i jagerfly - Stars & Stripes

US aims to stay ahead of China in using AI to fly fighter jets, navigate without GPS and more

The United States is competing to stay ahead of China on  AI and its use in weapon systems. An AI-enabled Air Force F-16 fighter jet, left, flies next  to an adversary F-16, as both aircraft race within 1,000  feet of each other, trying to force their opponent into vulnerable positions, on Thursday, May 2, 2024, above Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The flight is serving as  a public statement of confidence in the future role of AI  in air combat. The military is planning to use the  technology to operate an unmanned fleet of 1,000 aircraft. (Damian Dovarganes/AP) WASHINGTON — Two Air Force fighter jets recently squared off in a dogfight in California. One was flown by a pilot. The other wasn’t. That second jet was piloted by artificial intelligence, with the Air Force’s highest-ranking civilian riding along in the front seat. It was the ultimate display of how far the Air Force has come in developing a technology with its roots in the 1950s. But it’s only a hint of the technology yet to come.
