The article discusses Eric Schmidt’s comments on how Google’s AI-powered drones, codenamed ‘White Stork,’ could potentially aid Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. Schmidt, a former Google CEO and current chair of the US government’s National Security Commission on AI, believes these drones could provide a significant advantage to Ukraine’s military efforts. The ‘White Stork’ drones are designed to operate autonomously, using AI to identify and track targets without human intervention. Schmidt suggests that deploying these drones could help Ukraine overcome its current disadvantage in terms of military resources and personnel. However, he acknowledges the ethical concerns surrounding the use of autonomous weapons systems and emphasizes the need for robust safeguards and oversight. The article also touches on the broader implications of AI in warfare and the potential risks associated with its unchecked development and deployment.
