Last week’s lopsided showdown between a human F-16 pilot and an artificially intelligent one — the robot won 5-0 — was just the latest sign that we need to be thinking harder about the changes that smart machines are bringing to the battlefield. Among them: as relatively cheap robots play larger roles, the focus of warfare will shift to attacking and defending the humans that operate, maintain, and even build them.
Now and for the foreseeable future, military robots still need humans. Robots are not (yet) capable of the complex thinking required for warfare; advances in speed and computational power do not automatically bring basic common sense. A robot cannot tell the difference between a farmer with a gun and a soldier.
So the military frequently focuses on the concept of human-machine teaming: the machine does what it does best, and the humans do the rest.
In the short term, humans are needed to make decisions on the use of force. Autonomous systems can beat an F-16 jockey in a dogfight, but they cannot decide whether a target is worth striking. Current Department of Defense policy does not allow autonomous weapons to make decisions on the use of force without appropriate human judgement.

Elon Musk: In a few years, robots will move so fast you'll need a 'strobe light' to see them

It actually looks like the USAF might be close to fielding something either in the form of advance flight control software that maximizes the energy-state for the human pilot, or an automated wingman. Imagine a stand-off shooter like an F-15 with several sub-sonic automated A-I stealth drones. The F-15 employs his AIM-120D’s to break up the enemy formation and scatter them so the drones can move in close for the kill.
In a Robot War, Kill the Humans
This is another reason to get Elon Musk’s Neuralink installed soon, in addition to helping me remember where my car keys and glasses are. SkyNet might see me as an ally, at least for a few milliseconds.
“Kill Command” (2016)
Kill Command follows a group of marines who are dropped off on a remote island to train against ‘state-of-the-art technology’..... When they arrive they discover the AI have gone rogue. All hell breaks loose......The robot designs in this movie were really cool, and it’s very action-oriented. Watch it if you like military sci-fi or anything reminiscent of Terminator.
Here’s the trailor.....enjoy!

I think that whole movie is on YouTube.
Really entertaining movie...
that looks fun.
Oh it is....good plot and all. I didn’t expect that so was surprised it was so well done. Even rewatched it, which says a lot since that’s rare I do.
It took the second watch to realize the Robots actually got the trainers there intentionally to use them for target practice.

Sorry..but there are other surprises you won’t be ready for as well...hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still do.
