Here the AI and human would have access to the same data to make a decision and would be able to equally control the plane's movements. Surely the AI is going to out-perform the human in this task.
Therein lies the problem. We don't have good AI to achieve these types of tasks and are not nearly close enough to achieving it for military applications. The notion that we can just make an autonomous killing machine at this stage is absolutely laughable marketing hype.
In simulations " But a new artificial intelligence system, ALPHA, has been besting expert pilots in combat simulations, even when the A.I. is given a handicap." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36650848
And with a pilotless F16 "During the exercises, the F-16 planned and executed an air strike according to "mission priorities and available assets." The F-16 also managed "dynamically react to a changing threat environment" while managing "capability failures, route deviations, and loss of communication" https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a26028/f-...
