General development of AI in Ukraine
As we all know, AI development and usage around the world is phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is not much information on general development of this technology in Ukraine. Though, it does have an AI committee and information on the general ideas and predictions. But, for now, the only thing that can be said, is that Ukraine works in this field and it goes pretty well.
AI usage in the war against Russia
Now, here we have plenty of information on how Ukraine incorporates AI in the battlefield. Of course, the majority of this technology is given by Ukrainian partners, USA and EU in general. However, Ukraine itself also makes small but implementations in this area. So, how exactly does Ukraine use this technology? Well, AI is mostly used to gather information and to manipulate drones. Of course it’s not used as the main brain or something that massive, but still, the input is fairly great. AI works as some type of advisor, who helps to make all sorts of decisions, though decisions are still made by people. If talking more deeply, AI helps to find positions of the enemies, their storehouses, etc. It helps drones to hit more precisely. It also helps to hack Russian calls and signals, which also massively helps to plan the attacks and future routes.
Personal opinion
To my mind, AI is greatly developed in Ukraine, even though in only the field of war and not by Ukraine itself. Despite this, I believe that Ukraine has all possibilities to develop and incorporate AI in all means possible and it certainly can do it by itself. The only thing that stands in the way, is obviously war, which is the number one priority. In conclusion, Ukraine needs to win this war and also some time to regenerate from it and then it will thrive enormously.
