For those who had not watched the AlphaDogfight competition, the most remarkable thing was not that the AI beat the Human fighter pilot. The most remarkable thing was the extreme gap in performance between the best AI and second and third place AI's. It wasn't even close. An AI that is marginally worse could still be able to beat a human but will lose consistently over and over against a better AI.
This bodes very poorly for any nation that falls behind in the AI race. As well as any nation who's best and brightest minds refuse to contribute while their adversaries have no such qualms.
