On July 6 in Zaporizhzhia, a Russian drone guided entirely by an onboard Nvidia Jetson Orin AI chip autonomously selected its strike point, killing three civilians including a 19-year-old student. Investigators recovered the unencrypted off-the-shelf chip, which used object-detection code to target assets like propane tanks without human intervention. This incident marks the first documented case of civilians being killed by a fully autonomous AI targeting system in the Russia-Ukraine war, highlighting the dangerous realities of dual-use hardware and the fragility of algorithmic warfare.
