A Russian drone strike in Zaporizhzhia in July may have autonomously selected its target using artificial intelligence, according to a report in *The New York Times*. The attack, which hit a gas station, resulted in three fatalities. Ukrainian military officials are warning of the dangers of increasingly autonomous weapons systems. Colonel Serhiy Minajev expressed concerns that such technology poses a global threat, suggesting a future reminiscent of the “Terminator” films where machines independently make life-or-death decisions. The incident highlights the growing risks associated with the integration of AI into military technology. Experts fear a rapid escalation in the development of autonomous weapons capable of operating without human intervention. This event has reignited debate surrounding the ethical and security implications of AI in warfare.
