The Air Force acknowledged the first successful AI dogfight was carried out by DARPA and test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base as aerospace tech enters the machine learning era.
The U.S. Air Force on Wednesday publicly confirmed the first successful dogfight between a fighter jet piloted by artificial intelligence and a human-piloted aircraft. The AI-versus-human dogfight was carried out as part of the Air Combat Evolution program that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency launched in 2019. The Air Force conducted the AI dogfights at Edwards Air Force Base in California, the home base of the 412th Test Wing.
, said, "We have to be able to trust these algorithms to use them in a real-world setting." "The first-ever use of machine-learning-based autonomy in flight-critical systems will serve as a foundation for future aerospace AI advances that are both safer and more reliable in both commercial and defense applications," the Air Force wrote.
