North Korea is facing fresh allegations of exploiting its AI-powered workforce to fund its controversial armaments programme. According to reports, the regime has been using the hard currency earned by AI-assisted workers to secretly fuel its military ambitions, despite international sanctions aimed at restricting its access to foreign currency. The development has sparked concerns that Pyongyang is finding new ways to circumvent economic restrictions and accelerate its nuclear and missile programmes. As the international community continues to grapple with the implications of AI-powered labor, this latest revelation raises questions about the potential for AI to be used as a tool for nefarious purposes.
