I talked about it months ago, and many people said I was crazy. But here it now is, officially in news ink quoted from the First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine himself. (I love it when that happens). Ukraine will use its vast and valuable battlefield data as leverage for continued support from their partners. People consistently underestimate just how many cards Ukraine has. One of those cards is their battlefield data. Ukraine now has the most complete modern battlefield datasets *in the world*. Particularly when it comes to developing new AI weapons that rely on accurate and large datasets, that gives Ukraine a *very* valuable asset that literally *nobody* else in the west has. This data, which comes from the daily missions Ukraine runs, has rapidly accelerated the rate at which AI weapons have been developed. Progress that otherwise might have taken years in simulated environments can sometimes now come in mere weeks. And that is making Ukraine a superpower when it comes to controlling the weapons of the future. In the modern world and future age of warfare, Ukraine’s control over this data means that Ukraine can dictate which countries will win or lose the wars of tomorrow. The United States literally NEEDS this data if we want the best shot at remaining a global military power without fading into obscurity as $1,000 AI-powered drones overwhelm our multi-billion dollar lumbering weapons systems. It’s a scary world. But that aside, Ukraine is indeed recognizing their negotiating power. They are not obligated to share this data with anyone. Least of all with countries that continue to insult them and gaslight them by calling them “aggressors” for merely defending themselves against a foreign invader. But for countries that continue to support Ukraine, Ukraine is more than willing to support their future relevance on the global stage by sharing this data. It’s a win-win. We aren’t giving anything to Ukraine for free. Ukraine has some of the most valuable tools of all to give in return. Our aid to Ukraine only looks like a “handout” to those who are geopolitically shortsighted. Read more on Ground News: http://bit.ly/4n9pZ6f
