China Advances AI-Controlled Drone Warfare

China is training AI-controlled weapons, like drones, to fight using strategies learned from animals like hawks and coyotes.

These drones can work together in groups, called swarms, to attack or defend.

China is making a lot of progress in this area, with many patents and new technologies.

They want to use these AI drones to help their military be more effective, especially since they haven't fought a war in a long time.

However, there are risks, like the AI making mistakes or not working as expected in real battles.

Other countries, like the U.S., are also working on similar technologies, but China has an advantage because they can make many cheap drones.

The AI drones could be used in future conflicts, like over Taiwan, to search for and attack targets.
