Artificial intelligence was given control of a satellite and immediately began tracking Japanese and Indian military bases

Chinese scientists are worried about the idling of satellites used for remote sensing. Experts believe that the spacecraft often collect data that is of no value. They have tried to solve the problem by using artificial intelligence.

Here's What We Know

Scientists have created a language model like ChatGPT with the ability to show initiative. Artificial intelligence gained control of the Qimingxing 1 spacecraft. The experiment has shown some interesting results.

It is unclear how the model was trained, but the artificial intelligence first began to monitor the Indian military base, which is located in the city of Patna in the northeast of the country. The Bihar Regiment is stationed here, which three years ago took part in a clash with the Chinese army on the border between the two states.

Artificial intelligence then began monitoring the Japanese port of Osaka. It is not unusual for ships of the US Navy to dock there.

The South China Morning Post has discussed the satellite with some experts. One is wary of the way the artificial intelligence behaves. A second expert, with whom journalists spoke, believes that the AI does not pose a threat to humanity, as the human operator will be able to interrupt the work if he sees a threat.
