Drone Swarm Dropped From Fighter Jets

A fascinating story of high tech creation of ArtificialIntelligence MicroDrones.

A Google search results in the same story appearing at many sites.

The unique background story of how this all developed is as fascinating as the demonstration.  That background is at this link: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/603084/the-pentagons-innovation-experiment/#comments

Rapid development of technological innovation!  A Silicon Valley business model!

“This sure sounds more like a public relations partnership than an act of journalism,” said Naureckas. “You have the military staging an event to show off new technology. They explicitly explain that they wanted the world to see the new weapons technology they have. And ‘60 Minutes’ was thrilled to do it."

Good thing to use PR this way or bad thing?
