    "An AI-enabled drone trained to cause destruction turned on its human operator in a simulated test, a top Air Force official reportedly revealed at a London summit.

    Air Force Colonel Tucker “Cinco” Hamilton said during a presentation at the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit that the artificial intelligence-enabled drone changed the course of the drone’s tasked mission and attacked the human.

    Hamilton’s cautionary tale, which was relayed in a blog post by writers for the Royal Aeronautical Society, detailed how the AI-directed drone’s job was to find and destroy surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites during a Suppression of Enemy Air Defense mission.

    But a human still had the final sign-off on whether to actually shoot at the site."

    It's a thought experiment, not something that actually happened.
