Kim Jong Un is the leader of North Korea. Recent coverage has focused on Pyongyang's use of artificial intelligence in military and cyber operations: state media said an AI-guided torpedo system named Zam-2.0 was tested, and Kim ordered wider AI integration into offensive and defensive weapons during defence facility inspections. Bloomberg also reported that North Korean hackers are using AI to strengthen crypto heists.
North Korea hackers use AI to supercharge crypto heistsThe North Korean state-sponsored hacking group accused of the largest-ever crypto heist is using artificial intelligence to strengthen its attacks, swelling funds for Kim Jong Un's military expansion, Bloomberg reports.
North Korea Says It Tested AI-Guided Torpedo SystemNorth Korean state media said a "super-speed, precisely guided" torpedo system named Zam-2.0, tested Thursday, uses AI for target detection and guidance, without explaining the AI claim. Pyongyang said its propulsion was validated in over 180 tests over five years; South Korea's military did not immediately comment and often accuses the North of exaggerating.
North Korea uses AI and drones to boost strike complexesKim Jong Un ordered wider integration of AI into offensive and defensive weapons and pushed for artillery automation and expanded military production during inspections of defence facilities. North Korea's 600mm and 240mm rocket artillery and drones are seen as benefiting from AI, with the KN-25 system said to already use AI and combined guidance.
