Artificial Intelligence Just Flew an F-16 fighter for 17 Hours

In a major milestone for the field of artificial intelligence, an AI bot flew an F-16 for 17 hours. A team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, successfully flew an F-16 fighter jet. The AI flew the jet for a record-breaking 17 hours. The team carried out the experiment at a military airbase in Nevada. The AI system controlled the aircraft's takeoff, flight, and landing. A human pilot was present in the cockpit to monitor the system and take control if necessary. The team of researchers was led by Professor Stuart Russell. They developed the AI system using deep reinforcement learning. It is a type of machine learning that involves training algorithms to make decisions based on rewards and penalties. The researchers trained the AI system using simulations of ...
