Chilling AI satellite swarms that hunt and destroy enemies unveiled by China

CHILLING AI satellite swarms that hunt down and destroy enemy targets have been unveiled by China in another terrifying step in the space race. Chinese scientists said they could now launch hundreds of mini satellites - dubbed "cubesats" - from a large motherboard in space with deadly precision and speed. Weighing in at 2.2lbs, these tiny satellites are so complex they can only be controlled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to researchers, the complexity of a large scale space battle would be so immense that it's beyond the human brain and even beyond some powerful algorithms, the South China Morning Post reports. The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Chinese Space Science and Technology, said unlocking the right AI to control the motherboard and cubesats would have "strong economic and military value".
