Hi... You are watching in-depth with ILA. In a stunning development, an AI drone pilot has decimated the best of human drone pilots in a competition. Three world champion drone pilots were recently defeated in a competition by an autonomous, artificial-intelligence-powered drone. This is the first time that a drone powered by AI has beaten a human champion in a real physical sport designed for, and by, humans. The AI-equipped drone, developed by researchers at the University of Zurich, came out on top in 15 out of 25 races and recorded the single fastest lap time at 17.47 seconds. That brisk lap time was nearly half a second better than the best of human drone pilots. The three human competitors, Alex Vanover, Thomas Bitmatta, and Marvin Schaepper, have each won drone racing championships in the past. All three expert drone racers were beaten by an algorithm that learned to fly a drone around a 3D racecourse at breakneck speeds without crashing.
