An experimental fighter jet, the X-62A VISTA, has engaged in successful dogfights with an F-16 fighter jet flown by artificial intelligence (AI). The U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School operates the X-62A VISTA, a modified version of the F-16, and this achievement is seen as a major step in building trust in autonomous flight. The tests were carried out as part of the Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program, which aims to refine the use of AI in air warfare. The results have been promising, demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of testing AI agents in a combat environment. The program could lead to the creation of collaborative combat aircraft.
