> remote control + AI?

We might be getting close to advanced AI for a lot of domains, but are we ready to have one making independent decisions with bombs?

I’m not a military expert but I’d much prefer having a human making decisions rather than AI for at least the next decade. I’m not sure that remote connectivity is reliable and high bandwidth enough everywhere for a drone fighter jet

We already have drones that are making independent decisions with bombs, but that’s not the point. You can still have people in the loop, people that are not on board.

		For 100% of tasks that an F35 can perform? I know we currently have this capability, but aren’t up to speed if you can rely on it everywhere and every situation.

		Arguably even before drones, missiles have some form of "AI" to autonomously make calls, e.g Tomahawk TERCOM and DSMAC (arguably navigation, but hey, for a missile navigation ends in controlled descent into terrain)
