China was the first in the world to launch an "mother ship" powered by artificial intelligence, an unmanned carrier capable of launching more drones.
China has launched the world's first unmanned drone to use artificial intelligence to navigate open water on its own.
Beijing has officially described it as a tool for naval research, but some experts claim that the ship has the potential to be used as a military ship.
The Zhu Hai Yun Autonomous Ship (pictured here) is about 290 feet long, 45 feet wide and 20 feet deep and can carry plenty of air, sea and submerged drones with various observation devices, according to the ship's builder, CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipping Co.
He describes the ship as "giving time" and "the world's first unmanned intelligent ship."

"China's immediate benefit is data collection," said Matthew Funaiole, chief executive of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Insider. "From a purely scientific point of view, this is a corner supported by China, we have seen how Chinese drones (above and below ground and released from Zhu Hai Yun) contribute to disaster reduction, are environmental monitors and so on.
However, drone-free motherhood could also be used by the Chinese military to gather intelligence in the disputed South China Sea, where many countries are ending territorial claims.
