North Korea has showcased what it claims are “suicide attack drones” powered by artificial intelligence, part of an effort to update its weapons capabilities as its soldiers reportedly gain front-line experience in Ukraine with modern warfare technologies.

North Korea’s leader oversaw tests of his country’s latest military innovations which use artificial intelligence.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been pictured inspecting new suicide drones, which state media say have been equipped with artificial intelligence (AI). The undated images released by the secretive state's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) show Kim flanked by officials on a runway inspecting a drone.
