AFRL Inspire 2023

Matt Duquette, an aerospace engineer based in the Air Force Research Laboratory, or AFRL’s, Integrated Capabilities Directorate, offers remarks on the future of artificial intelligence and autonomous aircraft in his speech “Autonomous Aircraft: A Partnership of Human and Machine” at the 2023 AFRL Inspire event at the Air Force Institute of Technology’s Kenney Hall, Oct. 26, 2023. As humans grow increasingly worried about AI rendering them obsolete, it is important to recognize that the partnership between humans and machines is a source of strength, Duquette argued. The theory of “Humans Are Best At”-“Machines Are Best At”, or HABA-MABA, posits that humans are better at certain tasks while machines excel at others, and in learning to work together, true progress can be achieved, Duquette said.
