We talk about automated cars a lot. The automation can be applied to a range of domains, in this case, how to maneuver a plain in combat and shoot the enemy.

"Retired United States Air Force Colonel Gene Lee, in a flight simulator, takes part in simulated air combat versus artificial intelligence technology developed by a team comprised of industry, U.S. Air Force and University of Cincinnati representatives.*

....

In fact, it was only after early iterations of ALPHA bested other computer program opponents that Lee then took to manual controls against a more mature version of ALPHA last October. Not only was Lee not able to score a kill against ALPHA after repeated attempts, he was shot out of the air every time during protracted engagements in the simulator."


Even more remarkable is that the code runs on a $500 computer. Pretty remarkable advance. Should save the lives of young people normally put in harm's way (although drones have saved a lot of that).

This is interesting because most bad decisions in world's history were made by humans.
