The fighter jet, with the Air Minister in the cockpit, engaged in a simulated dogfight with another F-16, controlled by a man.
In the United States, an F-16 fighter jet flew under the control of artificial intelligence. At this time, US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall was in the cockpit. The Associated Press reported this on Saturday, May 4.
It was noted that the AI not only flew the plane, but even took part in a simulated air battle with another F-16, controlled by a human.
The flight took place at US Air Force Base Edwards, located in the middle of the desert. Only the Associated Press and NBC television received permission to witness such a historic flight.
An F-16 fighter called Vista, controlled by artificial intelligence, performed maneuvers at a speed of more than 885 kilometers per hour. In these maneuvers, the pressure on Kendall’s body is five times greater than the force of gravity.
A second human-controlled F-16 joined the first in a simulated air battle, trying to force the artificial intelligence into a vulnerable position.
Vista’s military operators say no other country in the world has an artificially intelligent jet, where software first analyzes millions of data points in a simulator and then verifies its findings in actual flights. Real-world performance data is fed back to the simulator, where the AI processes it to learn more.
It was previously reported that American special forces are using AI to mimic the voice of enemy commanders.
