Comment on The Scientist and the A.I.-Assisted, Remote-Control Killing Machine

Comments

I wouldn’t think there is much “Artificial Intelligence” in this. This is a stationary gun, controlled and operated remotely over satellite. The operator could apparently even see the target with a delay of about a second.

There might be picture recognition, which in this case has limited scope.

It’s good PR for both sides.

It sounds like the gun assembly contains an embedded model that aims and fires the gun with near- or super-human accuracy, and the operator only selects and verifies the target.
