China's upgraded Jiaolong submersible carries AI fault diagnosis and seabed recognition after 7,056.9-metre dives

SCMP, citing Xinhua, says three dives in the Philippine Basin tested a fault-diagnosis and decision-support system and a multimodal model trained on more than 800,000 deep-sea images; it argues similar tools could one day aid nuclear submarine crews, which is analysis, not a reported deployment.
