China could unleash AI-guided weapons in Taiwan invasion and 'reunification': report

Tom Newhouse, vice president of Convergence Media, discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence on elections after an RNC AI ad garnered attention. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China has tested an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered laser-guided artillery shell that has far exceeded the capabilities of any similar operational round. "Artificial intelligence is evolving quickly," Professor Wang Jiang, the project's lead from the Beijing Institute of Technology, wrote. "More researchers are applying the technology to trajectory planning problems." Initial tests have shown a new mortar deployed using this technology has achieved precision within centimeters of its target – a feat that developers have hailed while acknowledging the shorter distance and lower speeds that mortars require.
