Overview
- Kyiv says a Cabinet resolution has launched a new cooperation format and a Defence Ministry AI platform for training models without direct access to databases.
- The platform, run by the Centre for Innovation and Development of Defence Technologies, provides continually updated, annotated photo and video datasets.
- Ukraine cites a unique trove of millions of annotated images from tens of thousands of combat flights already used to identify targets in the DELTA system.
- Allied governments and private firms can train models on the data, but they cannot take possession of raw footage, which remains managed by the ministry innovation center.
- Officials frame the move as a way to speed autonomous systems against Russia, while the ICRC and others warn against automated targeting without human oversight and Ukrainian officials say humans decide on lethal force.
