SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the launch of a missile with his daughter, state media reported on Sunday (Oct 4), which allegedly used artificial intelligence to adjust its trajectory.

The AI technology means the missile is "capable of changing its flight orbit at a low altitude", Kim's powerful sister had said, adding this meant there was "no way to avoid" the attack.
