Terrifying video shows autonomous robot tank blowing up cars remotely
Joshua Hawkins - Yesterday 8:58 PM
We’ve managed to create some impressive robots over the years. From medical robots that can perform surgeries to small robots capable of jumping to new heights. There’s even a group of tiny robots we plan to use to explore the Moon. But now, a video of a new AI-powered tank has surfaced. It showcases how the military plans to use these scary advancements in futuristic warfare.
Milrem Robotics and Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace released the video in early June. As one of the leading technology and defense suppliers in the world, it has been working to make robots that soldiers can use in times of combat. The result is a deadly and terrifying AI-powered tank capable of firing using a remote turret.
What’s most intriguing and terrifying about this particular tank is that it uses AI to navigate and move around obstacles. That means there isn’t a person behind it controlling where it goes. And, it’s unclear whether the turret attached to the top is controlled by humans or if Milrem hopes to make it autonomous, too.
We’ve slowly been working our way towards more autonomous robotics, which can bring a lot to the table. However, putting an AI-powered tank capable of blowing up cars by itself into the world does raise some moral conundrums.
