Ukraine is working on the creation of new mines that will “decide” themselves who to detonate using artificial intelligence. This was announced in Odesa during the Black Sea Security Forum by the acting Minister of Digital Transformation, Oleksandr Borniakov.
Main points:
- Ukraine is actively developing new mines with artificial intelligence that will automatically determine a potential threat and make decisions regarding the activation of the explosive device.
- New generation intelligent mines will be capable of identifying different categories of individuals, determining whether to activate the explosive device 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 next-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 be responsible for the process, identifying targets. The identification will not be limited to the “friend or foe” level; it will determine who exactly is approaching the device – a child, an adult, a civilian, a soldier, or an armed person, and so on.
For example, if artificial intelligence detects someone walking on a minefield, and that 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 believe this can work autonomously.
