An ongoing debate in defence is whether there should be limitations set around the use of AI when it comes to weapons or killing people. US startup Scout AI is leaning hard into the conversation, so to speak. It’s working on autonomous systems built to explode without any human involvement beyond an initial command and check before (ahem) execution. Scout calls the foundation model Fury, and it is designed to be an AGI for defence. A vehicle controller built on it was tested in February 2026, “translating a commander’s high-level objective into coordinated actions across an unmanned ground vehicle and multiple unmanned aerial systems.” It notes the demo was executed “on real hardware, in mission-relevant terrain, without scripted control, CGI, or manual operating.” IL
