Will Future Fighter Jets Be Flown By ROBOTS? Pentagon Plans To Have Artificially Intelligent Pilots In Its Next-Generation Aircraft -- Daily Mail



The Pentagon in Virginia is planning to introduce artificial intelligence to a future generation of fighter jets

The plan is to use AI as co-pilots to humans and to help with sensory data and possibly with landings on aircraft carriers

Such technology may be used in the US Navy's upcoming F/A-XX jet

And it may also feature in the US Air Force's F-X fighter jet

Both are being designed to enter operation by 2030 at the earliest
