Fears over Boeing's plan to create AI-controlled killer jets for US military - despite slew of scandals

Their proposed fleet of'un-crewed' killer aircraft, piloted by'artificial intelligence' and dubbed MQ-28 Ghost Bats, would number in the thousands for the US alone. 'Boeing's track record doesn't seem to indicate that it's necessarily the best one to implement this kind of thing,' as one former State Department official, Steven Feldstein, told DailyMail.com. Boeing's MQ-28 Ghost Bat is an unmanned drone piloted by'artificial intelligence' (AI). It is one of the several robotic fighter jets competing to become the Pentagon's killer AI drone fleet With roughly 53 cubic-feet of storage capacity within its nose for interchangeable payloads, Boeing's Ghost Bats could one day carry a variety of bombs and munitions including multiple tactical nuclear weapons. Currently, three prototypes of the Ghost Bat have been built and flight-tested in Australia for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) with at least one of those delivered to United States for its own tests and integration trials.
