207 - Flying With the Algorithm: AI, Trust, and the F-35

What happens when #artificialintelligence starts sharing #cockpit responsibilities? On this episode, #usairforce Lt Col Raven “Rost” LeClair—#f35 #testpilot, squadron commander, and #autonomy specialist—breaks down how #AI is actually being integrated into 5th-generation fighters. We discuss what “human-machine teaming” looks like from the pilot’s seat, how trust in automation is built (and broken), and why the next leap in airpower depends more on judgment, training, and culture than raw hardware. #fighterpilot Podcast Website: https://www.fighterpilotpodcast.com/ Patreon:   / ftrpltpdcst   Facebook:   / fighterpilotpodcast   Instagram:   / fighterpilotpodcast   X: https://x.com/ftrpltpdcst
