In recent years, artificial intelligence has become a hot topic, almost reaching mythical status. It's often portrayed as the ultimate solution to all problems—almost like a superhuman. But is AI truly omnipotent? While today's AI systems are incredibly powerful, they still have limitations and aren't infallible.
AI has made waves in recent years, especially in areas like Go and data processing, where it has outperformed humans, leading to growing concerns about its capabilities. But can AI really outperform humans in more dynamic and unpredictable tasks, such as flying a drone? To find out, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in collaboration with Google, recently held a competition: an AI versus human drone racing challenge.
The test was straightforward—drones had to navigate through a series of obstacles in a lab setting, with flight time being the key metric. On one side was Ken Loo, a world-class drone pilot known for his exceptional skills. He wore a first-person view (FPV) headset during the race to enhance his visual perception. Both Ken and the AI system were given training before the competition.
The results showed that Ken Loo completed the course in 11.1 seconds, while the AI took 13.9 seconds. This demonstrated that, at least in this scenario, AI wasn’t the superior performer. The outcome suggested that AI may not yet be the perfect solution, especially when it comes to creative decision-making and route planning.
However, NASA pointed out that the AI performed more consistently throughout the race, without making risky decisions to gain speed. The human pilot, on the other hand, often took bolder actions to achieve faster times. Despite this loss, NASA believes that AI will continue to improve rapidly. They foresee a future where AI-powered autopilots could revolutionize fields like mapping, search and rescue operations, and even autonomous navigation in space stations. So while AI might not have won this particular race, it's clear that its potential is far from exhausted.
