North Korea Tests Intermediate-Range Missile Using Artificial Intelligence TechnologyPreviousNext

North Korea tested an intermediate-range strategic missile reportedly incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to alter its flight path, according to Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un. The missile, launched from Wonsan toward the East Sea, flew over 700 kilometers. South Korea's military detected the launch and, along with the US and Japan, is maintaining close defense coordination. Pyongyang denied responsibility for a recent DMZ explosion blamed on it by Seoul, which has sought dialogue despite tensions.
