The ministry looked at ten AI platforms before deciding it would benefit more from an original one, which it started sometime around mid-year 2022 and deployed by the end of the year. Though Dubynskiy made clear the ministry is constantly working to improve and further develop it. The original platform also allowed Ukraine to use what data it needed without overstepping and sending the wrong kind of information to a commercial company.
AI coverage has mainly focused on large language models and generative AI platforms such as Google’s Bard and For Ukraine, it has helped the military track down men suspected of war crimes during Russia’s invasion and troop movements, thanks to the extensive use of unmanned aerial vehicles and drones. With the footage captured, the AI can identify and categorize individual elements for users.
The most impressive feat that Ukraine accomplished through its AI development was the fact that the engineers did all of this on a fraction of the budget that American companies have used. The Army of Drones announces the second stage of the UAV pilot training as 10,000 military personnel will learn how to fly the drones and will join the Defense Forces with new skills.
When asked if Ukraine was in any way accessing Russian data sets to help train its platforms and improve capabilities, the deputy minister and Max merely said,"Let’s say we are doing our job successfully."
