National Interest: The Military Is Embracing a New Era of Artificial Intelligence
Autonomous jet fighter technology has performed quite well in dogfighting simulations against human pilots in air-to-air combat.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: While some artificial intelligence-enabled autonomous jet fighter technology has performed quite well in dogfighting simulations against human pilots in air-to-air combat, many contend that human decision-making in air combat cannot be accurately replicated and should not be replaced fully by machines. The Air Force has already experimented with an integration of the two and has already flown an aircraft operating with a manned pilot and AI-capable computerized co-pilot.
This concept, as Raytheon explains it, may indeed inspire developers to envision a tailorable, “optionally manned” platform, wherein a done would operate in a coordinated or even at times interchangeable way with manned aircraft.
The need for this kind of human-machine mixture is precisely why many envision a sixth-generation platform as something which could be “optionally manned” or assisted by a sixth-generation capable armed drone fighter jet intended to dogfight or engage in high-risk attacks under enemy fire.

WNU Editor: It looks like the goal is to develop platforms where AI will assist human operators. Hmmmm .... makes a lot of sense to me.
