China’s military unveils AI system for coordinating air strikes

China has unveiled an AI system called the "intelligent strike planning system" that aims to coordinate mass air strikes, according to a report by Semafor. This system helps commanders and pilots prioritize targets and allocate resources more efficiently. The development of this technology aligns with Chinese President Xi Jinping's call to strengthen the People's Liberation Army's use of "unmanned intelligent technologies."

China is not alone in this race; the United States has recently introduced "loyal wingman" drones designed to accompany crewed helicopters into battle, while Ukraine and Russia are engaged in an arms race to develop autonomous systems for fighting independently on land, sea, and air.
