North Korea tests AI-assisted ballistic missile

North Korea has tested an intermediate-range ballistic missile equipped with artificial intelligence technology, according to a statement by Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un.

Kim Yo Jong said the missile could alter its flight path at low altitude using AI technology. She said the test was conducted over the sea off North Korea’s east coast under Kim Jong Un’s supervision.

The test comes amid heightened tensions between the two Koreas following a landmine blast that injured South Korean soldiers. Seoul has accused Pyongyang of planting the mines, while North Korea has denied responsibility.
