It is inevitable. The Air Force keeps talking about a 6th generation fighter and they still haven't debugged the F-35. Before that happens, AI will be ready. And an AI fighter will be a totally different beast, as it were. With no need for all the technology that keeps the pilot alive, it can be far more maneuverable. It won't need to be supersonic and would be a lot cheaper than the F-35. Add in the sensor suite and battle management from the F-35 and things become very, very different. We can field many more planes than before. Some will specialize in stealth and sensors. When they spot a target, a missile can be fired from any number of vehicles and watched all the way to the target. When airborne lasers are practical, those can also be directed to the target. No longer would it make sense for all of the aircraft to have the full suite of sensors and ability to analyze the data. That can be distributed across all of the aircraft and ground vehicles.
