On June 8, Vladimir Putin ordered his two grown daughters and their three children to hide in the palatial family bunker on the Black Sea after learning that an AI-powered facial recognition technology had hunted down Iran’s supreme leader in February. Israeli intelligence had created a “Killer AI” that extracted video from all of Tehran’s CCTV traffic cameras to identify faces, movements, and habits of its top leaders. It knew where they all were at any given time. Putin was already heavily guarded and always flanked by bodyguards, stand-in doubles, and food tasters for protection. However, Israel’s frightening invention and Ukraine’s extraordinary AI expertise made it clear that there was nowhere to hide. So he made changes and shut down a specialized CCTV network to prevent it from being exploited or hacked. Then, in May, Russia claimed Ukraine had tried to assassinate Putin with a drone attack on the Kremlin and used that as an excuse to impose widespread internet restrictions and localized blackouts on all Russian people.

Putin is flanked by bodyguards everywhere After Putin became alarmed, according to reliable reports, he also revamped the security protocols for himself and everyone around him. Even so, on June 10, another high-ranking Russian general was blown up as his car sped through Moscow’s streets late at night. Roughly 15 Russian military leaders have been assassinated so far, and, embarrassingly, the attack occurred close to a spot where, one year ago, another high-ranking general was killed in a similar car bomb attack. Russian state media also reported there had been an attempt to kill an employee of a scientific-industrial enterprise that evening.
