The era of drones is fast approaching due to war and AI.

Recently, Elon Musk posted a tweet. It said, “The war of the future will be a drone war.” This story is more interesting than you think. The original article said that drone technology is developing rapidly due to the war in Ukraine. The most impressive part is that a $400 drone destroys hundreds of millions of dollars worth of tanks. Commonly called suicide drones, they literally crash into their targets and self-destruct.
This example from the Ukraine war illustrates how quickly drone technology is advancing and how it could change the face of warfare. The idea that low-cost drones could neutralize cutting-edge weapons systems would have presented military strategists with new concerns.
However, the power of drones does not lie simply in their cost-effectiveness. As artificial intelligence (AI) technology is applied to drones, their potential is growing further. Drones equipped with AI will be able to independently analyze battlefield situations, identify targets, and determine the optimal attack route. This means that complex missions can be performed without the intervention of a human pilot.
These developments in drone and AI technology will have a significant impact on our society as a whole, beyond the military field. Drones are already being used in various fields such as agriculture, logistics, and entertainment. As AI technology becomes more advanced, the scope of drone use will further expand. However, at the same time, concerns are growing about side effects such as privacy infringement, security threats, and job loss.

As the computers and internet that we use now are all technologies that were rapidly developed and distributed to the public due to war, drones will also be with us in the future if we keep our wits about them. Even in Korea, there is a continuing movement to use UAM as a means of transportation. In the end, it's all about regulation. Even now, cases of drones being flown in no-drone flying zones are frequently reported, and as access to drones becomes easier, it seems that we will have to fight over regulation and distribution.
I would also like to talk about why technological progress occurs so quickly due to wars, etc., but I don't think it's something to discuss in this article. If you look at the link above, you can see a scene where a bomb is attached to a really low-cost drone and destroys an opponent's trench or tank. It makes me think that in the future, the war itself may become a battle between drones without casualties. It also reminds me of the B-1 robot from the Star Wars series that I saw when I was young. (It is not a drone, but the robots below carry out the war instead.)
Count Dooku who appeared at this time was really cool...
