Drone advances in Ukraine have accelerated a long-anticipated technology trend that could soon bring the world's first fully autonomous fighting robots to the battlefield, inaugurating a new age of warfare.

Honchar believes Russia, whose attacks on Ukrainian civilians have shown little regard for international law, would have used killer autonomous drones by now if the Kremlin had them.

In a Dec. 21 speech, he expressed confidence in the Russian arms industry’s ability to embed AI in war machines, stressing that “the most effective weapons systems are those that operate quickly and practically in an automatic mode.” Russian officials already claim their Lancet drone can operate with full autonomy.Gregory C. Allen, former director of strategy and policySwitching a drone from remote piloting to full autonomy might not be perceptible.

An effort to lay international ground rules for military drones has so far been fruitless. Nine years of informal United Nations talks in Geneva made little headway, with major powers including the United States and Russia opposing a ban.Washington policymakers say they won’t agree to a ban because rivals developing drones cannot be trusted to use them ethically.

PLA is preparing for such AI war. How about US arm force?

the coming sino~USA war for Taiwan will be is the first AI war in humankind history

lol… most West guys obviously don't know what happened in China.

JenniferJJacobs This type of speculation doesn't belong blended with facts...it makes it seem like the tech nations are chomping at the bit for this to happen.

When do we get a real Marvin the paranoid android?

AdamSavage and jamie have prepared for this.

China Already has this

Of course wars have been always a experimental field.

Fully Autonomous military machines is absolutely horrifying and no country should develop them.

I don't know a single person that thinks killer robots are what the world needs right now. Stop amplifying the war industry's propagandistic language: 'long-anticipated', 'advances', 'dawn of', making killing for profit seem like inevitable progress. Do journalism, be a watchdog.

Do you want Skynet? Because this is how you get Skynet.

The natural evolution of warfare.

SkyNet rising What could go wrong?

😆 exZACTly!!

Reads like is looking forward to robot warfare.

You want Terminators? Cuz that's how you get Terminators

Everything was peaceful when trump was president.

They already exist.

Sirens hauling in city Drones are flying in town Two hundreds, one hundred, fifty... It is direct impact, building is gone... If the God is on Heavens! If the Devil exists I just wrote you this sentence Please do something with this...

Yeah, what could go wrong?

What do you mean – 'could'?
