This guy was a ground control intercept controller and only "flew" a radar and a radio. His "eyes" were a search radar. If the spokesman was a fighter pilot, this story would have more credibility. His career is more suited to be an expert in "big picture" joint air operations, not air to air combat even if he knows the tactics. BTW- this AI might be good, however when you add in jamming, weather, and spoofing it might be a whole new ballgame.
A robot air force might be what we needed to keep China at bay in the Pacific, but the drones would still need a kill order.

Better not use any Chinese made chips in those units, just saying.

EDIT The second link provided in the opening post is a much more detailed article.
