“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday he had met the CEO of Palantir Technologies, Alex Karp, ​as Kyiv doubles down on the use of artificial ‌intelligence to gain an edge in the war with Russia. Kyiv has launched a project with Palantir called ‘Brave1 Dataroom’ to develop artificial ​intelligence based on its valuable combat data, collected ​throughout the conflict since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, to ⁠help intercept Russian drones. ‘Today, technology, AI, data analysis and ​the mathematics of warfare have a direct impact on ​the outcome on the battlefield,’ Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said on Telegram after meeting with Karp. Fedorov, who promised a sweeping, data-driven overhaul of ​Kyiv’s military when appointed in January, said that more ​than 100 companies were training over 80 models to detect and ‌intercept ⁠aerial targets.” (05/11/26)
