China tests powerful AI that could one day be used on submarines

What happened: China showcased AI technology alongside deep-sea trials of its upgraded Jiaolong submersible, highlighting potential use of similar systems for decision-making and emergency responses aboard nuclear-powered submarines. Key numbers: Jiaolong reached a maximum depth of 7,056.9 metres during three dives in the Philippine Basin in the western Pacific Ocean, per Xinhua on October 27. Why it matters: The trials point to potential AI support for decision-making and emergency responses on nuclear-powered submarines.
