The highly modified F-16 known as the X-62 Vista flew and landed successfully after an intense dog fight with a human piloted F-16 along the Bakersfield Nevada border.
The reason the AI-controlled jet had the Air Force’s top civilian in the front seat was simple, to send a message to China, who has already deployed AI in the warfare arena, Kendall told the AP.
The United States is actively competing with China in AI and its integration into weapon systems have raised concerns over the misuse of technology and its catastrophic impact.
