How are AI capabilities different from the introduction of guided missiles and fly-by-wire control in aeriel combat? Humans are still there but they take on different roles -- the end result is a much more formidable machine using blended capabilities.
Framing the competition as AI vs. humans as in the UZH competition therefore seems to miss the point. Humans already can't fly high performance aircraft without machine help.

For stuff like these drones, where is the benefit of a human component? Picking the drone up off the ground? Being a spotter? Driving the drone to wherever you want it to fly? Lets take self driving cars for example. The benefit there is we no longer have to drive, but you also lose millions of jobs (taxis, trucking, etc). Capitalism isn't going to take a romantic approach to AI / human harmony. It will do what it always does, cut costs and turn profits at the absolute expense of everything that's not creating shareholder value. And to that extent, the military industrial complex will do exactly the same thing, just replace shareholder value with bloodshed.
