WHEN GOOD DRONES GO BAD

Jun 9, 2025
Drone use has great potential, but experts are sounding a warning on the use of hobby-type drones by bad actors. They fear the misuse the technology, worrying that convergence of drones, AI, cyber and chemical warfare against us is a real fear I take a deep dive into the dark side of next-gen drone concerns.

the future of drone tech It looks
0:05
promising for many things Deliveries
0:07
agriculture medical aid just to name a
0:10
few But there's also a dark side to
0:14
drone tech which experts warned could
0:16
disrupt our everyday lives The drone
0:20
issue um that was a known issue by the
0:22
FAA 25 years ago Yet today they will
0:26
still tell you that they can't do
0:28
anything They can't Oh we don't know
0:29
what to do Okay 25 years later
0:33
guys At what point do we demand as a
0:38
society that our government does what
0:40
they're supposed to do Remember 9/11
0:43
when terrorists use conventional
0:45
hardware like aircraft in unconventional
0:48
ways to create devastation Well a new
0:51
white paper on drone use by bad actors
0:54
points out some frightening scenarios
0:57
Authored by Dr Han's mom a noted
1:00
autonomous systems expert It warns the
1:03
next generation of drone concern will
1:05
come from hobby shops and garages when
1:08
drones are tasked to do terrifying
1:10
things by people who intentionally
1:13
misuse the technology You think that a
1:16
hobby drone can't do something like that
1:18
Well look no further than the Ukrainian
1:21
drone attack against Russia recently
1:23
where they used 117 hobbyist drones and
1:27
modified them to destroy Russian bombers
1:30
That showed that defeating a swarm of
1:33
modified commercial drones is going to
1:35
be tough How are you going to stop all
1:37
those How do you even have the ability
1:40
to track all of those You don't 5G
1:43
technology which makes our handheld
1:45
devices work so efficiently can now be
1:48
harnessed by drones to create many
1:50
weapons of mass destruction Here's what
1:52
they do They use artificial intelligence
1:54
and its machine learning capacities to
1:56
transmit data via 5G back and forth to
2:00
the bad guys How concerned are you about
2:03
them using artificial intelligence in a
2:05
drone They are using artificial
2:07
intelligence in a very small way right
2:09
now looking at the idea of uh terrain
2:13
following or understanding the terrain
2:16
When we get to the point where we
2:17
integrate a stack you have air vehicles
2:20
ground vehicles sea vehicles underwater
2:22
vehicles humanoids cyber exoskeletons
2:26
When you take all of those and you start
2:28
combining them and integrating them and
2:30
and they are allowed to goalsek then the
2:34
answer is you're probably not going to
2:35
be able to stop them Enhanced anti-
2:37
drone systems are being developed to
2:40
protect sensitive areas like airports
2:42
and government buildings And military
2:44
leaders are trying to impose guidelines
2:47
on that technology But let's face it the
2:49
bad actors don't care about that They're
2:52
going to do what they want Quite simply
2:54
our laws are lagging way behind I would
2:58
have liked to thought years ago as I
3:01
would have liked to think today that the
3:04
governments of the world would be ready
3:06
with policies laws governance and
3:07
leadership I don't think that's going to
3:09
happen Right now the world is rushing
3:11
headlong into this technology with
3:13
little understanding about how it
3:15
affects us or humanity Experts warn this
3:19
is the time to pump the brakes working
3:22
for you I'm the consumer guy Steve
