US, Allies Let AI Target Enemies Like It Would in War for First Time [Video]

The US and its allies employed artificial intelligence systems to target enemies in a real-time, simulated battle environment for the first time.

The trial was conducted as part of the larger AUKUS Resilient and Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Technologies event hosted by the US Army during the multinational Project Convergence exercise earlier this year. During the trial, Australia, the UK, and the US tested the abilities of AI-enabled unmanned aerial vehicles to locate and destroy ground targets.
