The article reports on defense technology company Lab Scout AI, which is developing autonomous AI agents designed to identify and destroy battlefield targets. These systems, which the company calls ‘fire-and-forget’ munitions, use computer vision and machine learning to independently locate and engage objects like enemy drones, vehicles, or artillery systems without needing a human operator to guide them in the final attack phase. The technology represents a significant step toward more autonomous weaponry, raising questions about the role of human judgment in lethal force. The company argues its systems are precise tools for defense, while critics warn of the risks associated with machines making life-and-death decisions. The full article explores the technical capabilities, ethical debates, and potential future of such autonomous weapons.
