Executive Summary
This report is the first part of a series on military artificial intelligence (AI) development and its application in the war in Ukraine. It will focus on two critical aspects of AI adoption in Ukraine’s military:
- The conditions and factors that contributed to military AI development from the beginning of the war with Russia in 2014
- The key government institutions and initiatives responsible for driving AI adoption, along with a summary of their major AI-related initiatives
The summary section below presents key findings and insights on both of these aspects.
- AI is in experimental deployment and is overwhelmingly geared toward supportive functions.
Although AI is frequently discussed in the context of the war in Ukraine, its full deployment on the battlefield remains limited. Numerous AI-driven capabilities and technologies are being tested along the frontlines, in long-range strikes within Russian territory, and across multidomain operations, but these efforts are largely experimental rather than indicative of AI systematically replacing human functions in warfare. AI currently assumes a predominantly supportive and informational role, and even when AI capabilities advance and improve, they are not yet implemented in fully autonomous modes on the battlefield.
