They ask will AI get full control of a plane and put in battle, and then answer probably not. I say certainly will. Eliminating the limitations put on maneuverability by humans will eventually be required in order to keep up with the Jones’s.

I think this is really cool and very scary.

How kind of them to give AIs fighter jets so the AIs can more easily exterminate us humans and take over the world.

If it kills innocent civilians, would it need to attend court?

The future limit for high-G maneuvers will be the wings falling off rather than the pilot getting damaged.  Plus, planes can either get smaller or haul another 200 pound munition.
