The article doesn't say anything about what data the AI had. Did it have full access to the simulation, or did it have to "see" the opponent's plane, the terrain etc a bit more like it would in real life?
That could make a big difference. It's easy to make a self-driving car for instance if you can feed it the position of every other car in the world, with their movement data, and all other obstacles.

The article also refers to ALPHA being able to defeat the human pilot with impeded sensors, which implies that it was being fed information from simulated sensor systems.
