U.S. Military’s New AI Guns—Are We Entering a Robot War Era

Advancements in Autonomous Weaponry

The U.S. military is exploring AI-powered autonomous weapon systems, such as drone-mounted robot guns, designed to engage targets without direct human control, according to Wired. These systems, which utilise AI to identify and engage targets, represent a new frontier in defence technology. However, they raise ethical concerns about the implications of automated warfare.
