Patrick Tucker, Defense One: Russian Weapons Maker To Build AI-Directed Guns
Kalashnikov�s upcoming product shows how the US and Russia are on wildly different paths to autonomy.
The maker of the famous AK-47 rifle is building �a range of products based on neural networks,� including a �fully automated combat module� that can identify and shoot at its targets. That�s what Kalashnikov spokeswoman Sofiya Ivanova told TASS, a Russian government information agency last week. It�s the latest illustration of how the U.S. and Russia differ as they develop artificial intelligence and robotics for warfare.
The Kalashnikov �combat module� will consist of a gun connected to a console that constantly crunches image data �to identify targets and make decisions,� Ivanova told TASS. A Kalashnikov photo that ran with the TASS piece showed a turret-mounted weapon that appeared to fire rounds of 25mm or so.
Kalashnikov did not respond to a request for comment before press time.
