The US Department of Defense has increased its inventory of UAVs from 1,000 to 500,000 units, the Wall Street Journal writes. According to the Pentagon's deputy head of research Emil Michael, the US department was not ready for modern methods of combat using UAVs and is now actively acquiring autonomous systems. At the same time, the military maintains a conservative approach to artificial intelligence: the Pentagon excluded artificial intelligence model developer Anthrop from its plans, recognizing the company as a threat to national security.
