Aerial warfare in the 21st century and beyond might look more like a game simulation rather than a physical dogfight. The AI algorithm controlling the chasing plane will have changed the face of war forever.In August 2020, the US Defense Department’s research agency, said that an algorithm had defeated a human pilot in simulated aerial combat. The best of eight competing AI pilots was matched against an F-16 pilot in five simulated dog fights. <a href="https://www.wired.co.uk/article/ai-fighter-pilots-automated-warfare">The AI beat the human 5-0</a>.In 2021, China ‘s own AI beat a human pilot from its own Air Force. While the pilot won in earlier face-offs, the AI soon learned from each encounter and by the end it was able to defeat him.Militarized AI will bring many changes. Aircraft design can be designed to perform maneuvers no human can withstand. Automated combatants can also save years of training skilled enough fighter pilots.With these rapid advancements, 2022 will show us that future warfare will be a matter of skillful coding rather than courageous flying.Image:&nbsp;U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
