The Vulnerability of AI Systems May Explain Why Russia Isn’t Using Them Extensively in Ukraine

The news that Ukraine is using facial recognition software to uncover Russian assailants and identify Ukrainians killed in the ongoing war is noteworthy largely because it’s one of few documented uses of artificial intelligence in the conflict. A Georgetown University think tank is trying to figure out why while advising U.S. policymakers of the risks of AI.

The CEO of the controversial American facial recognition company Clearview AI told Reuters that Ukraine’s defense ministry began using its imaging software Saturday after Clearview offered it for free. The reportedly powerful recognition tool relies on artificial intelligence algorithms and a massive quantity of image training data scraped from social media and the internet.
