North Korea Tests AI-Enabled Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile, Claims Evasion Capability
North Korea tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile reportedly equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) to alter its flight path and evade tracking. The missile, launched from Wonsan toward the East Sea, flew over 700 kilometers. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, claimed the AI-enabled missile could change trajectory at low altitude, making interception difficult. South Korea, the US, and Japan are closely monitoring missile activities. Experts caution that while AI use in military tech is growing, Pyongyang's specific claims remain unverified.
