Kim Jong Un Prioritizes AI for Military Drones | JQJO

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un declared artificial intelligence a top priority for modernizing the country's weapons technology, particularly drone capabilities. He oversaw drone tests at the Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Complex in Pyongyang. This follows recent tests of a new solid-fuel rocket engine. While North Korea's military strength is considerable, its AI development relies heavily on collaboration with China, despite sanctions. The country's strengthened ties with Russia also contribute to its growing military power, which the DIA considers to be at its strongest point in decades.
