Image Recognition
The report doesn’t mention whether the human targets became casualties, but it hints at this outcome.The drone in question was a Kargu-2 quadcopter introduced in 2020 by Turkish company STM, designed for asymmetric warfare and anti-terrorist/counter-insurgency operations. It has two operating modes, manual and autonomous, and uses machine learning and real-time image processing for the latter. It is a grim first and one that has the potential to change the way humanity conducts warfare significantly. Since technology can’t allow for killer robots right now, it would feel premature to ban them, it was said.Kargu-2, also described as a loitering drone, can be programmed to self-destruct upon impact. It can also be used in formation for a swarm of kamikaze drones and has facial recognition, which means it can seek out a particular target, whether static or mobile.
