Overview

• Pakistan’s defence minister spoke at the UN’s AI Innovation Dialogue chaired by António Guterres, warning that AI without global guardrails could imperil peace.
• News clips show at least seven verbal slip-ups, including “breathtaking space” for “breathtaking pace,” “riks” for “risk,” and “developend” for “development.”
• Asif linked AI-enabled warfare to recent Indo‑Pak hostilities, alleging the use of autonomous loitering munitions, high‑speed dual‑capable cruise missiles, and drones during Operation Sindoor.
• The reported claims about weapon use remain his assertions from the speech, with no independent corroboration in the articles citing the viral video.
• Coverage notes heavy social‑media mockery, including comments like “Operation Sindoor shook him,” as background on a campaign India launched after the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
