In February, Ukraine's military made an incredible claim about this robot.
2
For 45 days the drone rotated into combat duty and repelled enemy assaults.
3
According to soldiers, the bot was able to hold off attacking Russians on the front line at some point last year.
4
Then, in March, an even more incredible claim from Ukraine's president.
5
For the first time in the history of this war, the enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms ground robots and drones.
6
The new deadly robots designed and deployed in Ukraine were lined up on display.
7
The message from the president was...
8
The future is here.
9
Zelensky's military also claims to have forced Russians to surrender using robots.
10
Ukraine has become a testing ground for robotic warfare.
11
This conflict, and others like Iran are propelling us towards a world where increasingly sophisticated robots designed to kill will become common on front lines.
12
As the company commander says robots don't bleed.
13
Is this really the future of warfare? And if so, what does it mean for human soldiers and the civilians impacted by conflicts?
14
Uforce is a new Ukrainian weapons maker that's grown fast.
15
It recently became a unicorn a company worth a billion dollars.
16
Some of its land and air drones were used in the operations Zelensky revealed.
17
Although they're not saying much about it.
18
We met the firm at its London location, which is secretive and unbranded to protect it from potential Russian sabotage.
19
So I can't go into specifics on the operation or how Uforce were involved but we've done over 150,000 successful combat missions since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
20
Do you foresee a future where you've got more robots in a fighting squadron than humans?
21
That could potentially happen so with the system you see here a control centre could have up to ten robots going into it at one time so it is potential where you could have more of these systems working together with one person overseeing them.
22
The company says this drone has been used to destroy more than 150 Russian tanks.
23
Russia too is deploying its own robots, for example to carry explosives into Ukrainian positions.
24
And for years now it's matched Ukraine in the air with drones.
25
I really consider Ukraine to be a major teacher in the future of national defence and armaments.
26
It's a really impressive case study of how necessity breeds invention.
27
In the US, another weapons startup Anduril caused a stir in February when it completed a test flight of its new fighter jet that has no fighter pilot.
28
Like Uforce, Andurill Industries is part of a new wave of disruptive startups looking to reshape modern warfare.
29
It's raised billions of dollars in funding and US military contracts.
30
More established and larger defence giants like BAE Systems, Boeing and Qinetiq are also working on increasingly powerful unmanned robotic weapons.
31
You've seen Ukrainian and Russian drones fight each other. So there is already a kind of robot-on-robot aspect of the battlefield.
32
Seeing that play out increasingly on the land and maritime domain, I think, is extremely likely if not inevitable.
33
At the moment, most military robots across all domains are being controlled by humans, but autonomy is accelerating.
34
Uforce's land drones use aim-assisting software for shooting.
35
And Anduril's drones can carry out the final stage of strikes on their own.
36
I saw that it has a function where it can sort of kamikaze attack a target autonomously.
37
Is that right? Yeah, that's correct.
38
I was wondering about this though because that kind of the last 200, 300 feet, what if a kid runs out or something?
39
These things have a wave-off feature.
40
Now, of course, at one point or other it's all too late, but the speed they go, they're going pretty fast when they get down there.
41
So, you know, unless you're Linford Christie running out there, you're not gonna be in the way.
42
You're not concerned about something like this, you know, accidentally killing a civilian because it takes a decision and can't get out of that decision.
43
This is where we keep the human in the loop.
44
So that last thing they do will make the last check and press.
45
The use of AI and robotics I believe, will reduce the amount of mistakes made in the battlefield.
46
Humans need to eat. They need to sleep. And progressively, in a wartime situation, they get less sleep and they eat less, and they tend to make more mistakes.
47
By using computing we avoid the ability to make mistakes through more of that, what we call the kill chain.
48
The US administration is openly urging its military to embrace AI in all areas.
49
We will win this race by becoming an AI-first warfighting force across all domains.
50
In the Iran strikes, AI tools from companies like Palantir and Anthropic have reportedly played a major role.
51
Aside from occasional military parades, Chinese weaponry developments are less well known.
52
But a US Department of Defense assessment last year claimed that China's military is rapidly developing in emerging tech like drones and increasingly relying on AI.
53
The whole reasoning behind militaries using AI systems is to increase the pace and accelerate, for instance, identification of It poses huge ethical and human rights risks and issues.
54
We should never really be wanting to delegate life or death decisions to machines.
55
There's another concern too.
56
With killer robots able to think for themselves, what happens to safety if their handlers lose control of these deadly devices in, for example, a cyber attack?
57
Well, anything can happen when you're hacked. What's important is how well you protect yourself from hacking.
58
The cybersecurity around what we do is hugely important, as you might imagine.
59
And to do that, we adhere to whatever government we work with.
60
I work with the MOD.
61
The MOD have a series of cybersecurity policies and rules that we must follow, and we follow them.
62
Most experts say we are many years away from these autonomous robots becoming commonplace.
63
Humans will always be needed on the battlefield, in some form, due to a key limitation that seems hard to change.
64
You need a command link between the operator and the robot itself.
65
That command link can be severed either by electronic warfare, by jamming, or if the robot has a physical connector, we're starting to see fibre optic cable being used to connect ground robots, as well as uncrewed aerial vehicles to their control stations, which is unjammable but can be severed by explosions by shrapnel, or even just by a pointy rock.
66
There's another area of war that robots and AI will likely never replace us.
67
While I really do expect these systems to become more and more integrated into combat, we have to keep in mind that robots destroying robots won't end wars.
68
All wars ultimately end through some kind of political settlement when one side has suffered more cost and loss than it can tolerate and that will remain true whether the fighting ultimately is done by humans or by machines.

この動画で話す練習をする理由は？
英語を学ぶ際に、IELTS スピーキング対策に役立つ動画を使用することは非常に効果的です。この動画では、ロボット戦争や無人機についての重要なディスカッションが行われており、現代の戦争におけるテクノロジーの役割を理解する手助けになります。リスニングとスピーキングの両方のスキルを同時に向上させることができ、特に、shadow speechの練習を通じて、発音や流暢さを大いに改善することができます。
文法と表現の文脈での分析
- 現在完了形：動画内では「has become」「have used」などの表現が使われ、現在の時点までの経験や影響を示しています。この時制を習得することで、過去の出来事が今にどう繋がっているかを話す能力が向上します。
- 受動態：例えば「are controlled」「have been used」といった表現があり、主語が行動の対象であることを示しています。この構文は、特に専門的なトピックを話す際に頻繁に使われるため、意識して練習すると良いでしょう。
- 条件文：動画では「if so」や「if not」などの条件文があり、未来の可能性についての議論を行っています。条件文を使いこなすことで、仮定的なシナリオを展開する際の表現力が増します。
一般的な発音の罠
この動画内には、特に注意が必要な発音の要素があります。例えば、「autonomous」や「robotic」などの単語は、日本語話者にとって発音が難しいことがあります。これらの単語を繰り返し練習することで、英語の発音を良くするためのスキルを磨けます。また、語尾の音にも気をつけて、特に「-ics」や「-tion」といった音に焦点を当てることが効果的です。YouTubeで英語学習の一環として、動画を視聴しながらこれらの発音を自然に取り入れていくのが良いでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
