North Korea has carried out what it says are the country's first missile tests involving artificial intelligence guidance systems, with leader Kim Jong Un overseeing the launches in a display that state media described as a step towards 'modern warfare'.
According to Sky News, the announcement was made by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), which said the tests involved multiple weapons systems, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and a 240mm rocket artillery platform fitted with what it called 'ultra-precision' navigation technology. Some of the systems were also described as capable of carrying nuclear warheads or 'special mission' payloads designed for battlefield use.
