The US military "is now testing an autonomous F-16 fighter jet, and in simulated dogfighting, the AI already crushes trained human pilots.
The move is being seen as a general shift to machine-based soldiers, but apparently, it is not the only one.
Sikorsky Aircraft, the military contractor that makes the Blackhawk helicopter has built an experimental chopper controlled by taps on a tablet computer.
The company said that while the human thinks they are operating they are only giving the machine general instructions which the Blackhawk makes happen.
The Sikorsky representative suggests it could avoid a "Blackhawk down" scenario where more human soldiers have to be sent into harm's way to try to rescue their comrades.
