Beijing: China is now going to operate the satellite with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to a report by the South China Morning Post, Chinese scientists told that they have carried out an experiment in which with the help of AI, a satellite near the Earth’s orbit was temporarily operated. Specifically during this time, the AI observed certain locations on Earth and ordered the satellite to “take a closer look” at them.
One of the targeted areas was the city of Patna in India, home to the Bihar Regiment, an Indian Army unit that clashed with Chinese forces in the Galwan Valley in 2020. The other targeted area was Osaka, one of Japan’s busiest ports, which occasionally hosts US Navy ships operating in the Pacific. However, the scientists did not explain why the AI machine specifically asked the satellite to look for these two locations. According to the report, the research team claimed that the purpose of the experiment was to see what the AI would do on its own.
