The Ukraine War has seen a former Google CEO evolve into an arms dealer, launching AI-driven attack drones designed to change the tide of the conflict.
Ex-Google CEO Embraces Arms Trade
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt has declared himself a "licensed arms dealer" in an effort to provide artificial intelligence (AI) to the Ukrainian government so it can counter Russia's continuous assault.
"Use AI in complicated, powerful ways for these essentially robotic wars." That was Schmidt's line of questioning during an April talk at Stanford University, when he was joined by Udacity CEO Sebastian Thrun. Last week, Stanford uploaded the lecture to its YouTube account, and it became an instant hit. That was removed a while ago.
According to Schmidt, "Watching the Russians use tanks to destroy apartment buildings with little old ladies and kids just drove me crazy" during the lecture.
AI Attack Drones to Counter Russia
Business Insider reports that White Stork is an upcoming firm seeking to mass-produce drones with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for target identification. There was a period when Schmidt presided over the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. From 2001 to 2011, he served as the CEO of Google.
According to Schmidt, White Stork is aiming to construct complex AI robots while simultaneously reducing expenses. If the price of the robots drops, according to Schmidt, ground engagements involving tanks and other artillery might be "eliminated."
New AI-Driven Technology in Ukraine
With "the support of the governments," he declared, the drones would go "straight into Ukraine" to "fight the war."
"Because of the way the system works, I am now a licensed arms dealer," said Schmidt. "A computer scientist, businessman, arms dealer."
"I do not recommend this in your career path, I'd stick with AI," said he.
