To put some context: we Russians always preferred automated systems to having humans in the loop — we have a lot of history with particularly prominent examples of less than fully sane humans in the loop, without proper checks and balances to restrain them.
So I am absolutely not surprised of the development, and we'll see much more instances of these systems soon. The only good part is that Russians strongly dislike complicated control systems, so the "AI" in question will be much simpler than what would Americans do.

- FRex 9y agoRussians' dislike for complicated systems sounds very good but I hope it will have humans watching over it too. There were already many close calls and accidents (some fatal) due to computer and programming errors in both civilian and military systems. Case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alar... if it wasn't for Stanislav Petrov the world might have ended back then.
