AI-powered drone beats human champion pilots

An algorithm-powered drone developed by researchers at the University of Zurich, called Swift AI, has beaten human world champions in a drone racing competition, marking the first time AI has defeated humans in a physical sport designed for humans. Swift AI won 15 out of 25 races and achieved the fastest lap on a 3D race course, making it a potential tool for search and rescue missions or inspections of large structures. However, experts believe the implications for military use may be limited.
