Ukraine's ex-defense minister launches 'Manhattan Project' for killer robots
Original: Ukraine’s former defense minister launches ‘Manhattan Project’ for killer robots
Ukraine's former defense minister has launched what he is calling a 'Manhattan Project' for autonomous weapons, an effort to develop AI-powered killer robots at wartime speed. The comparison to the Second World War atomic bomb program underlines the scale and urgency he says is needed to keep Ukraine ahead of Russia in battlefield technology.
Why now: The high-stakes framing of an autonomous weapons push amid the ongoing war with Russia is drawing attention to the ethics and arms race implications.
