ROBOT ATTACK
AI begins ushering in an age of killer robots
The latest iterations of technology enabling drones and other machines to operate autonomously owe their advancements to deep learning, an AI method utilising extensive data for pattern recognition and decision making. Although these systems aren't costly military-grade equivalents from the US, China, and Russia, their affordability, priced at just thousands of pounds or less, and widespread accessibility mark a significant development.

Indian Navy coordinating with navies of partner nations' amid a resurgence of piracy attacks: Navy Chief Hari Kumar
Answering the question about the piracy challenge in the Indian Ocean Region, Navy Chief Hari Kumar said: "We have seen that till about last year, piracy had become zero. We have seen a resurgence that is probably because of the disturbance due to drone attacks in the Red Sea. We have taken robust action. We have deployed an adequate number of actions. We are not allowing any piracy will be taken."
Elon Musk rebukes media reports on robot "attack" in Tesla factory

View: Stay a step ahead of cybergangs
The cyber-threat universe has expanded with the convergence of IT and OT. This demands a holistic approach. Ideally, this could mean a unified platform addressing industrial protocols, multiple networks and infra segmentation levels, OT traffic inspection, intrusion alerts and cloud security. While upsides include enhanced and real-time data analytics to provide dynamic and actionable insights, greater speeds, adaptivity, productivity gains and fewer failures, integration with other emerging technologies, such as IoT, AI and ML, escalates cyber susceptibility to the next level.
UK prepares to host global leaders' gathering on AI
The UK government will welcome foreign political leaders, tech industry figures, academics and others this week for a two-day summit billed as the first of its kind on artificial intelligence (AI). Sunak and other leaders have increasingly joined the industry itself in arguing current knowledge and regulation of frontier AI is likely insufficient for the challenges it will pose.
In US-China AI contest, the race is on to deploy killer robots
One is pricey and slow: For a new force of up to 13 nuclear-powered attack submarines, the Australian taxpayer will fork out an average of more than AUD$28 billion ($18 billion) apiece. And the last of the subs won't arrive until well past the middle of the century.
In U.S.-China AI contest, the race is on to deploy killer robots
The Australian Navy is investing in two different submarine technologies to counter the rising power of China. One approach involves building expensive nuclear-powered submarines, while the other focuses on developing cheap and fast unmanned submarines powered by artificial intelligence (AI), known as Ghost Sharks. The Ghost Sharks, costing less than 1% of the nuclear submarines, will be delivered by mid-2025. The use of AI and automation is revolutionizing military power and could potentially reshape the rivalry between China and the US.
Human-machine teams driven by AI are about to reshape warfare
Commercial software developers are challenging the traditional defense industry in the arms market, potentially revolutionizing warfare. In the war in Ukraine, teams of humans and machines are reshaping the battlefield, with remotely piloted drones significantly improving the lethality of artillery, rockets, and missiles.
Human-machine teams driven by AI are about to reshape warfare
Some technology experts believe innovative commercial software developers now entering the arms market are challenging the dominance of the traditional defense industry, which produces big-ticket weapons, sometimes at glacial speed.
The next fear on AI: Hollywood's killer robots become the military's tools
In the military, AI-infused systems can speed up the tempo of battlefield decisions to such a degree that they create entirely new risks of accidental strikes, or decisions made on misleading or deliberately false alerts of incoming attacks.

Satellite attack: The mounting arms race in space
In the beginning, the biggest worry was nuclear weapons in space. In 1967 the superpowers and other countries signed the Outer Space Treaty, banning weapons of mass destruction in orbit. Since then, Russia, the United States, China and even India have explored ways to fight in space outside of the treaty.
