Iran's Top Nuclear Scientist Was Shot To Dead By An AI Machine Gun

When the scientist was traveling in a car convoy, he was shot 13 times while his wife sitting just inches from him was untouched. AI might be involved.

A claim newly surfacing says that one of the leading nuclear scientists, Mohsen Fakhrizaden, was shot dead by a machine gun controlled via a satellite and artificial intelligence.

Birg-Gen Ali Fadavi, a Revolutionary Guards commander, made the statement after Fakhrizaden died on November 27. When the scientist was traveling in a car convoy, he was shot 13 times while his wife sitting just inches from him was untouched, according to BBC’s report.

As of now, the commander’s claim hasn’t been verified and we should remember that there are a lot of possibilities here.

Since the event took place, there have been various assumptions over how the scientist was murdered. The Iranian defense said that on the day of the incident, there was a gunfight between the scientist’s bodyguards and a group of gunmen.

In another report, it was stated that there was a Nissan pick-up truck exploding at the scene.

Then, on the funeral day, the head of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran explained that the murder was conducted remotely using special methods along with electronic equipment. No further details were revealed.

Last Sunday, the commander reportedly said that a machine gun placed in a Nissan pick-up truck nearby was equipped with an AI satellite system that zoomed in on Fakhrizaden. While the claim raises concerns, it remains to be verified.

It’s not news hearing that AI is used on conflict and may require a strong force to conduct such a mission.

Noel Sharkey, professor and a member of the Campaign Against Killer Robots, said that:

“If such devices were autonomous, using face-recognition to pinpoint and kill people, we would be on a downhill roll that would entirely disrupt global security.”
