Fully autonomous drones killed Russian soldiers during a battlefield test two years ago, according to a Ukrainian drone manufacturer. If true, the incident would represent another milestone in a war that has spurred unprecedented developments in military drones, robots, and AI-guided weaponry. The one-time test was revealed by Alexander Kokhanovskyy, CEO of the Ukrainian drone maker Aero Center, during an interview with New Scientist at a press …
An interview with the CEO of the Ukrainian drone manufacturer Aero Center provides for discussions. It is about deadly tests with fully autonomous AI drones.

A senior figure in the Ukrainian defence industry said that a test took place two years ago involving fully autonomous drones set to destroy anything in a given area, with confirmed casualties, according to a report in New Scientist. Speaking on FRANCE 24, Mariarosaria Taddeo, Professor of Digital Ethics and Defence Technologies at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, explains that these systems "are fully indiscriminate, whether…
Ukraine's Autonomous Drones Cross a Deadly Threshold
Two years ago, on a stretch of Ukraine’s eastern front, a small fleet of quadcopters switched into a mode their makers called Terminator. The drones flew forward several kilometers without further human direction. Then their onboard AI models began to hunt. They found targets. They struck. Russian soldiers died. This was no accident of war. It was a deliberate test. Ten drones. One mission. Confirmed kills. And no operator pulled the trigger at …
The test took place two years ago and involved quad-copter drones scheduled to fly to the front line, travel between 3 and 5 kilometers in about 10 minutes and then activate the "terminator mode", in which an AI model seeks and intercepts targets.tags: drones, kill, soldiers, autonomes» original news (www.newscientist.com)
A scenario seen in science fiction films for decades may have taken a step into the real world. The war in Ukraine has brought to light claims of drones capable of searching for and attacking targets entirely on their own. Such a development would mark a landmark in the history of weapons technology and raise sharp ethical questions. At the same time, experts are trying to assess how far autonomous systems have actually come. Is this a one-off e…
