Key Developments & Data

Ukrainian authorities report a fully autonomous Russian drone strike kills three civilians at a gas station. Investigators found the experimental drone utilized an Nvidia $NVDA chip for artificial intelligence target selection. The weapon autonomously chose to strike propane tanks after human operators directed it toward the area. The attack claimed the lives of a 19-year-old university student and two other civilians last month. "This is a risk for the whole world. In a few years, we will be living in a ‘Terminator’ movie. It’s no joke. Machines are making decisions to strike." — Col. Serhiy Minaiev
