Daily Mail: AI pilot shoots down F16 Top Gun to win first ever USAF dogfight simulator competition as human pilot says he can't cope with the robot's aggressive tactics and warns 'the things we do as fighter pilots aren't working'
* The finale of the AlphaDogfight trials took place Thursday at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland
* The bot was made by small Maryland company Heron Systems
* Human was a Weapons School instructor pilot known by his call-sign 'Banger'
* AI pilot virtually shot down the human pilot in five rounds of mock air combat
* The victory of machine over man raises questions about the future of air-to-air combat as the USAF hopes AI can help the military react faster to enemies
An AI pilot has beaten a US Air Force F16 Top Gun in the first ever simulator dogfight competition run by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to determine if man can beat machine in the sky.
The human pilot, a Weapons School instructor pilot known only by his call-sign 'Banger', was annihilated by his artificial intelligent opponent in the showdown at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, Thursday.
The AI pilot in a simulation Viper fighter jet virtually shot down the human pilot in five rounds of mock air combat, showing the human brain is no match for the technology's aggressive tactics.
