The CEO of Ukrainian drone manufacturer Aero Center, Alexander Kokhanovskyy, disclosed that fully autonomous drones killed Russian soldiers during a battlefield test two years ago. In the test, quadcopter drones were preprogrammed to fly to a front-line area and activate an AI-powered 'Terminator mode' to autonomously seek and attack targets.
No video footage of the attack was recorded, but subsequent human-piloted drone reconnaissance found dead Russian soldiers, which the company attributes to the autonomous drones. If verified, the incident would mark a significant milestone in the use of AI-guided weaponry in warfare.
