Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt’s startup White Stork aims to arm Ukraine with AI-powered attack drones

Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, has revealed that his new drone startup, White Stork, plans to support Ukraine by developing AI-driven attack drones. According to a report from Business Insider (BI), Schmidt’s company aims to create advanced drones capable of identifying targets autonomously, reducing the need for traditional ground battles.

During an April lecture at Stanford University, Schmidt expressed his frustration over the destruction caused by the Russian military in Ukraine, saying, “Watching the Russians use tanks to destroy apartment buildings with little old ladies and kids just drove me crazy,” according to the BI report.
