Ukraine's military intelligence says it found an Nvidia Jetson Orin computer module in Russia's new S-71 Monochrome cruise missile, indicating possible AI technology use.
As someone with previous defense connections, I’d been wondering when we’d see this.
ITAR has severely restricted access to nav system tech export, but there was always this open question about reckoning position by visual cues rather than GPS + dead reckoning. We all knew it was technically feasible, but we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.
The answer is the same, though. Nvidia, willing or not, is now a defendant in an unjust war, and must be subpoena’d by the ICC. At a minimum, they should be immediately sanctioned by foundry specialists (like ASML) until they are prepared to account for how, exactly, this tech ended up in a Russian missile.

The unjust war CIA and MI6 took great pains and a long time to prepare you mean?

Subpoenas only exist in the US. Since it did not sign the Rome treaty, and since Nvidia is an American company - the ICC has no power here.
There’s always going back to the old-fashioned method of having a trained pigeon inside of the device instead of a sophisticated computer vision system.
Or the pigeon can be the drone itself, what a wonderful world it is
For just terrain recognition, the US has had that since before there was GPS. Since the 1950s even.

Lots of cheap plane-type drones do terrain navigation now. And the Russians are busily deploying their military version of Starlink.
Plenty of western tech still ends up in Russian weapons, it’s nothing new. NVidia should be just put in queue.
and they too should be held accountable.
If I can’t buy lower-priced Chinese RAM, then Russia shouldn’t be able to make weapons with our tech
I know that’s not how it works but it should be

America is a terrorist nation and if you can’t see it… I dunno what to tell you, man.
