This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt is quietly building a kamikaze drone startup in the U.S. and Ukraine called “White Stork,” according to a report by Forbes Tuesday.
The project is named after Ukraine’s national bird and White Stork hopes to sell advanced AI drone technology to the country’s ongoing war effort.
He led the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, which issued a final report in 2021 that stated, “AI will transform the way war is conducted in every domain.”
The former Google CEO has written extensively about how AI drones are the future of warfare, including in a book he co-wrote with everyone’s favorite recently deceased warmonger, Henry Kissinger.
Kamikaze drones cost around $400 and carry a small amount of explosives, according to a Wall Street Journal column Schmidt wrote in July.
The ex-Google CEO published a column Monday titled “Ukraine is Losing The Drone War.” Schmidt details how he has been in close contact with Ukrainian officials, and how poorly Western weapons have fared against Russian defense systems.
