The war in Ukraine is heading to a very crucial stage, the Ukrainians have been setting themselves up for a counteroffensive for a very long time, but many Western countries and beyond have taken these statements as propaganda to boost the country’s morale and improve the mental situation, nothing could be further from the truth.
The Ukrainians surprised the entire military world with their counteroffensive, and their successes are being commented on in large numbers by many experts.
Have you wondered what aspect in the army could make such a crucial difference to bring the supposedly second army of the world into crisis at such a deadly pace? It’s artificial intelligence!
About 1,000 Ukrainian software engineers are working socially to use artificial intelligence for frontline surveillance. The new system allows Ukrainians to find all targets with given parameters across the front. These can be ammunition depots, missile systems or troops on the move. For the system to work at 100 percent, about half a thousand drones must be hovering over the front at any one time. This number has still not been reached.
The Ukrainian army is using a plethora of drones, which, with the help of artificial intelligence, are able to target enemy positions with great precision and send accurate cordylines to soldiers.
The war in Ukraine is, of course, a tragic event that should never have happened like any other conflict in the world, but at this moment we have the opportunity to see how technologies developed over many years, make a difference on the battlefield.
Indeed, the war in Ukraine has definitely changed the outlook on artificial intelligence. Many people are now working to create and improve the equipment that has already been created. And this saves the lives of innocent people, which is a very important aspect of using artificial intelligence.
Maybe you have heard about that Ukrainians created an AI that used to find dead occupiers in social networks. This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov back in March. Basically it recognizes the faces of corpses and finds them on social networks, after that Ministry of Autodialers has notifies relatives of their deaths. To be honest it’s very cool to use an open source database such as instagram or other social media to identify a person.
But if we are talking deeper about an AI and it’s place in the war. I actually had an opportunity to visit military headquarters where kamikaze drones are created. To be honest i was impressed because, you don’t actually have to know so much about drone programming or modification. It is pretty simple and almost every programmer would be able to do it.
To conclude maybe you’ve heard about IT Army of Ukraine. This is a community of IT specialists from all over the world who united after the start of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. They can hold more than 800 targets at the same time. Specialists of various levels have created and continue to create automated systems of attacks on information resources and services of enemy country.
