BEIJING (Sputnik) - The Chinese military has successfully tested long-range artillery powered by artificial intelligence, expecting greater shooting accuracy and reduced warfare costs, a Hong Kong-based newspaper reported on Monday, citing a team of scientists working on the technology for China's military.

Numerous tests conducted by the Chinese experts last July determined that the AI-powered artillery that was guided by laser could hit human-sized targets at the distance of 16 kilometers (10 miles), exceeding the experts' expectations, the report said, adding that the technology would potentially reduce the cost of warfare.
Traditional artillery has a margin of error of around 100 meters (328 feet), with modern artillery systems also limited in their accuracy since they require a number of real-time parameters like wind and air temperature that need to be taken into account during the fire, the newspaper said.

I think that we have just seen the end of ego tripping motorcades. These weapons will be first sold to criminals in various countries. Then political groups will get hold of them to eliminate rival politicians. And finally certain country's leaders will be targetted & attacked by foreign infiltrating assassins armed with such weapons.
An interesting world that I'm leaving.

Frightening

Not as frightening as drones flying thousands of klms to asassinate people.

@FrayedBear

Many in the defense industry believe drone technology offers U.S. forces and their allies better protection from missile strikes.

@Castlepaloma lol until they get Iranian drones coming back at them?

@Castlepaloma If you want to loose a war ...call America in.
Drones save American lives for those too cowardly to confront their enemy face to face
