An AI-enabled U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet, the X-62A VISTA, right, flies nose to nose with an adversary F-16, as both aircraft raced within 1,000 feet of each other, twisting and looping to try force their opponent into vulnerable positions on Thursday, May 2, 2024, above Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The experimental orange and white fighter jet launched with the familiar roar that's a hallmark of U.S. airpower. The aerial dogfight that ensued was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by AI, not a human pilot. And riding in the front seat to witness it all was Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall. The AI-controlled F-16, called Vista, flew Kendall in maneuvers that put 5Gs of pressure on his body at speeds exceeding 550 miles an hour.
