Ukraine is working on the development of new mines that, with the help of artificial intelligence, will themselves “decide” whom to detonate. This was announced in Odesa during the Black Sea Security Forum by the acting Minister of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Bornyakov.
Key points:
- Ukraine is actively engaged in creating new mines with artificial intelligence, which will automatically identify potential threats and make decisions on activating the explosive device.
- Next-generation intelligent mines will be capable of identifying different categories of individuals, determining whether the explosive device should be activated based on the person’s characteristics.
Mines with Artificial Intelligence: A New Development from Ukraine
According to him, the Ministry of Digital Transformation is working on creating new-generation mines by integrating artificial intelligence, which is planned to automatically determine who is approaching the mine and whether to activate the explosive device.
As the official noted, AI will handle the process, identifying targets. The identification will not be limited to “friend or foe” – it will determine who specifically is approaching the device – a child, an adult, a civilian, a soldier, or an armed person, etc.
For example, if artificial intelligence detects someone walking on a minefield, and this person is shorter than 1 meter, the mine will not detonate because the AI understands it is a child. Or, if the body armor has “UN” written on it, the mine will also not activate. Or, if the person is not carrying anything metallic – it will also not activate, according to the artificial intelligence’s assessment… I think this can work autonomously.
