DARPA and the US Air Force have successfully flown an AI-controlled F-16 fighter jet, demonstrating the scalability of AI development capabilities for operational fleets. The F-16, modified with the VENOM Autonomy Kit, performed human-on-the-loop in-air testing of AI models, advancing flight autonomy within DARPA's Artificial Intelligence Reinforcements (AIR) program. This milestone enables rapid innovation for aerial combat, allowing for the development of trusted, autonomous air combat capabilities. AI summary
