N. Korea tests AI-assisted torpedo system: KCNA

North Korea has tested a new precision-guided torpedo system that utilizes artificial intelligence for target detection and guidance, according to state news agency KCNA. The underwater test-fire of the super-speed Zam-2.0 system occurred on Thursday to validate the successful technical enhancement of the weapon, as reported by KCNA.

AI technology was integrated into the target detection and guidance functions of the new-type super-speed precisely guided torpedo, the agency stated. Earlier this month, North Korea announced the commencement of AI-assisted launch of an intermediate-range hypersonic missile. In September, the country's leader Kim Jong Un underscored the importance of elevating the level of artificial intelligence in the nation's weapons systems.

Analysts suggest that North Korea might be swiftly advancing its missile technology with Russian military assistance in exchange for providing troops to support its war against Ukraine.
