Ukraine Feeds Sensitive Military Data to Palantir AI for Training

  • On Jan 20 Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced Ukraine will establish a system allowing allied countries to train AI models on Kyiv's combat data from the nearly four-year war.
  • Last week Mykhailo Fedorov took up the Defence Ministry post to drive reforms and described Kyiv's wartime data trove as one of its negotiating 'cards' with allies demanding that data.
  • The data trove includes systematically logged combat statistics and millions of hours of drone footage, and Kyiv uses AI tools from US data analytics firm Palantir with advice from CSIS, RAND Corporation, and RUSI.
  • In January Ukraine will test a home‑grown Mavic analogue, which Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said uses the same camera with longer range to reduce reliance on Beijing and integrate allies.
  • The dataset's scale could improve allied AI models and speed defence development, as Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov plans to combine allied collaboration with expert advisers CSIS, RAND and RUSI.
