Swedish startup's autonomous drone picks targets with AI chip

Original: Autonomous strike drone uses Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano to pick and bomb targets

A Swedish startup has developed attack drones that use Nvidia's Jetson Orin Nano, a small AI computer, to independently select and strike targets without human input or external communications. The system runs a compact AI model entirely onboard, raising debate over fully autonomous lethal weapons and how readily available consumer AI hardware can power them.

Why now: The lack of human oversight in a lethal autonomous weapon built on off-the-shelf Nvidia hardware raises urgent ethical and security concerns.
