Beale Air Force Base makes history [Appeal-Democrat, Marysville, Calif.] Dec. 19—Beale Air Force Base hosted a historic flight this week, made possible by cutting edge work by the base in the last couple of months. The United States Air Force used artificial intelligence as a working aircrew member for the first time on Tuesday, according to a Beale news release. The AI algorithm was developed at Beale by Air Combat Command’s U-2 Federal Laboratory. It was designed after a direct challenge ...

U-2 bomber prepares to take off with AI co-pilot The U.S. Air Force concluded test flight of its U-2 bomber with artificial intelligence (AI) as a co-pilot on December 15. The AI algorithm,  known as ARTUµ, developed by Air Combat Command’s U-2 Federal Laboratory, trained the AI to execute specific in-flight tasks that would otherwise be done by the pilot. The algorithm flew wit...

By   Theresa Hitchens on December 16, 2020 at 1:06 PM WASHINGTON: Air Force acquisition czar Will Roper’s long-held vision of an AI co-pilot ––  a real-world version of Star Wars’ famous R2D2 droid — took a step closer to reality last night, with a flight test of artificial intelligence technology working as a crew member on a U-2 spy plane. “This is cool. An AI “guy in the back” sharing the mission load is a real step forward,” commented Mark Gunzinger, Mitchell Institute...
