Artificial Intelligence Fighter Pilots Easily Beat U.S. Fighter Pilots in Simulations

Stop me if you’ve heard this line before. Remember in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker is with Yoda in the swamp, and he says, “but I’m not afraid…” Yoda then responds, “Good… you will be… you will be…” I could leave it at that, and most people would get the idea, but since some won’t, I’ll keep going…
What? You saw the title about autonomous fighter pilots and you probably thought I was going to bring up the Terminator movies right? Well, I am. Think about it. If this story about Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) pilots beating human pilots is already in the media, that means top secret government black ops are a decade past what you’re about to read, and that’s at the bare minimum. The ‘good folks’ at DARPA are likely far more ahead than that.
My first inclination is to write an in depth post about all the technology already in existence most people don’t even know about (or could imagine), provide videos to actually prove the technology really does exist, and then paint the larger picture of just how quickly this technology can spiral out of control, but sometimes less is more. Anyone who wants to learn more, links will be provided within this post and at the end.
