The impact of Chinese drones is examined, highlighting their export to 16 countries and the reliability concerns associated with their use.
She's been studying China's military tech innovation for about 7 years. The Chinese military hasn't used its drone in real warfare. But over the past decade, the country has exported over two hundred drones to 16 countries. They've been crashed. There have been complaints about the reliability. But as Chinese drones are used by other militaries, that the data or the insights generated from those use cases may improve their design or development going forward.

The potential for AI integration in new Chinese drone models is explored, raising security concerns about autonomous technologies.
The Chinese Defense Ministry didn't respond to a request for comment. Last year, the official newspaper for the Chinese military said that drones are a new experiment and a growing trend for future combat. Kania says the newer models point to how China could eventually integrate AI and machine learning to improve performance and make them highly autonomous. But that also raises questions about the security of any AI-driven drone.
