The country's defense ministry has said it is able to spot 12,000 Russian pieces of equipment a week using AI identification tools.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict marks possibly the first truly AI war, with both sides having come to rely on small drones to conduct reconnaissance, identify targets, and even drop lethal bombs over enemy lines. This new type of warfare allows commanders to survey an area from a safe distance and has highlighted the importance of lightweight aerial weapons that can conduct precise strikes instead of much more expensive fighter jets.
The OCHI system was originally built to give the military access to drone footage from all nearby crew on one screen, but the group running it realized that the video could be used for training AI. For an AI system to be effective at identifying what it is seeing, it needs to review a lot of footage; Ukraine probably did not have a lot of battlefield footage before 2022. Now, more than six terabytes of data is being added to the system per day, on average.
It is not just local Ukrainian companies that are building new AI technology for the battlefield. There is big money to be made in the defense industry, and a slew of Silicon Valley players including Anduril and Palantir, as well as Eric Schmidt’s startup White Stork, have begun offering up drone and AI technology to support Ukraine’s fight.
Luckey pointedly called out critics who say a robot should never decide who lives and who dies. “And my point to them is, where’s the moral high ground in a landmine that can’t tell the difference between a school bus full of kids and a Russian tank,” he asked. It seems unlikely a school bus would be driving through a battlefield unless it was a booby trap, but whatever.
