Russia and Ukraine both use AI-powered drones on the battlefield
Both Russia and Ukraine are using drones backed by artificial intelligence in the war. One example is a Ukrainian company that once made pet-monitoring cameras and now equips drones with an image recognition system.
Russia and Ukraine are both using drones that rely on artificial intelligence in the war in Ukraine. The trend shows how technology developed for civilian use is increasingly reaching the battlefield.
One Ukrainian company grew wealthy making smartphone-controlled cameras that let owners watch their pets at home. It now equips first-person-view (FPV) drones with an image recognition system powered by artificial intelligence. FPV drones are flown by an operator who watches a live video feed from the drone's camera.
The available source text does not say how the system is used in practice or how widely it has been deployed. The company's name is not given in this excerpt.
