- Slice by slice we are turning over every aspect of our lives to computers and now Artificial Intelligence. It is only a matter of time until it is all put under a central "Skynet" system.
(Rebel News) China has ramped up its defences at the Indian border by deploying robotic weapons platforms armed with machine guns. The automated units are intended to cover blind spots in China’s perimeter as troops struggle to handle the altitude and terrain of the Tibetan region claimed by both countries.
Fox News reports that China has deployed unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) to the region in an effort to bolster its position along the border. According to the report, China’s People's Liberation Army acquired the UGVs in 2014 but has largely neglected their use until now.
Presently, the Chinese military utilizes two different types of UGVs, the Sharp Claw and the Mule-200. The Sharp Claw can be operated remotely in addition to performing autonomous behaviour, according to National Interest. The Mule-200 can perform unmanned deliveries or operate firearms, including mounted guns.
India’s WION News reports that at least 400 of the robotic weapons platforms have been deployed along the border.
The region that is seeing the highest rates of deployment of the robotic weapons platforms is described as arid, remote, and completely inhospitable. It serves as access for few commercial routes across the desert.
