Should Human Pilots Trust Artificial Intelligence to Win Aerial Dog Fights? Is this An Alternative Plot for the Movie Top Gun? Should A.I. Ever Be Allowed to Make "Kill" or "No Kill" Decisions?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: A fighter plane equipped with artificial intelligence could eventually execute tighter turns, take greater risks, and get off better shots than human pilots. But the objective of the ace program is to transform a pilot’s role, not to remove it entirely. As darpa envisions it, the A.I. will fly the plane in partnership with the pilot, who will remain “in the loop,” monitoring what the A.I. is doing and intervening when necessary. According to the agency’s Strategic Technology Office, a fighter jet with autonomous features will allow pilots to become “battle managers,” directing squads of unmanned aircraft “like a football coach who chooses team members and then positions them on the field to run plays.” This paragraph comes from the New Yorker in an article titled: "The Rise of A.I. Fighter Pilots."  The article is written by Sue Halpern.  You can read the article here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/01/24/the-rise-of-ai-fighter-pilots Zac and Don talk about the challenge of getting humans pilots to trust the A.I. that is learning to fly their planes.  They also talk about the concept of A.I. in war and if humans should always have the final say in "kill" or "no kill" decisions.
