NVidia AI Murder Bots Found Attacking Ukraine

Russian Zala drones equipped with Nvidia TX2-A AI chips are attacking Ukraine, using onboard artificial intelligence to recognize and target vehicles, people, and military markings. The AI allows the drones to pre-sort targets and pursue individuals, as seen in recent attacks where a Ukrainian school teacher was chased into hiding. Nvidia's developer forums show a user seeking help with drone-related AI hardware, highlighting potential supply chain concerns through Malaysia.

A new Berlin Story report https://www.berlinstory.de/news/russische-drohne-mit-nvidia-ki-chips/ , about drones attacking Ukraine, discusses the NVidia AI hardware used by Russia. Inside the Russian Zala drone, we found the NVidia TX2-A Jetson Tegra X2 AI chip with 8GB of RAM. A serious AI system which, unlike AI assistants on mobile phones, does not need contact with a data center to perform its tasks.The AI can, for example, recognize vehicles and people during overflights and also identify details such as military markings, license plates, or drone types. This allows the AI to pre-sort targets for attack. This brings us to the NVidia support community for developers, where a Muhammad Aiman Izzat https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/how-can-i-make-the-drone-with-jetson-tx2-developer-kit/62044 likely Malaysian account seeks some very specific help with NVidia hardware. Popular topic for NVidia to be supporting, as you can plainly see. I say it’s likely Malaysian not just because of the name, but also the supply chain for this line of inquiry. Malaysia was a top 10 export county of semiconductors https://www.rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/risky-business-southeast-asias-continued-trade-russia to Russia between 2017 and 2021. In recent attacks in Ukraine, the drones chase innocent civilians even as they run and try to hide. One murder report this week came after a Ukranian school teacher had jumped from her car when a Russian drone approached. As she ran into a line of greenery and trees to get away, expecting the car to be hit, it instead followed her, just as the NVidia support question had asked.
