I knew AI would come to this. This AI-controlled jet fighter has now flown against human pilots.

why does it have 2 pilots in

why does it have 2 pilots in it? Or at least 2 pilot looking dummies?
I guess they can't trust it

I guess they can't trust it yet, especially with all the complexity of modern airspaces. BTW that is the hottest looking F16 that I have ever seen, the Cadillac of the skies.

To quote... in part... the article:
"The jet fighter is called the X-62A Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft, or VISTA. It began life as an F-16D (Block 30) two-seater, which spent most of its 32-year career working at the US Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB...... Although DARPA's AI agent flew the X-62A, there was always a pair of human pilots onboard to monitor the test flight and, if necessary, take control..... After flying against simulated opponents, the AI agent has taken on humans."
