AI Beats a Fighter Pilot in a Virtual Dogfight:
"An artificial intelligence programmed to fly fighter jets has defeated
several air combat experts in a simulation, according to a paper
published in the Journal of Defense Management. The AI, called ALPHA,
was built by Psibernetix, Inc. with assistance from the Air Force Research
Laboratory.
ALPHA's purpose was to be better than highly trained fighter pilots, and
so far it appears up to the task. The AI has gone up against its
predecessor, the AFRL's previous AI program, and a series of human
opponents. It emerged victorious each time."
