U.S. technology companies that are deeply involved.

In-depth interpretation for you
U.S. technology companies are deeply involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The West is in Ukraine ** "AI war".
On February 26, the cover article of Time magazine said that shortly after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir Technology in the United States, went to Kyiv to meet with Zelensky in Ukraine. Subsequently, the cooperation between the two sides advanced rapidly.
Palantir has received investment from the venture capital department of the U.S. Intelligence Agency, providing data analysis software to multiple departments such as the U.S. Department of Defense and multiple foreign intelligence agencies, and providing AI technical support for the U.S. military.
On the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, Palantir's software uses AI to analyze satellite imagery, open-source data, drone footage, and ground reports to provide military decision-making recommendations to Ukrainian commanders. AI models can give the most effective options for striking enemy positions.
"On the battlefield, we can do things that we can't do in a domestic environment," Karp said. "Ukraine has become a "laboratory" for American technology companies.
Now, the products of Palantir are used by several ** departments in Ukraine, which means that the data is "in the hands" of American companies.
Tech giants become "AI arms dealers".
Test product technology on the battlefield in Ukraine.
The Time magazine article also revealed that Microsoft, Amazon, Google, SpaceX and other companies have been supporting Ukraine from cyberattacks by migrating critical** data to the cloud.
Military expert Shao Yongling said that in the first year of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, many generals of the Russian army were killed, and there was a "figure" of the American Primer company software behind it.
Wu Mingxi, a military artificial intelligence expert, believes that the participation of so many American technology companies in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is no longer a simple business behavior. With the support of the United States, they are testing technology on the battlefield in Ukraine, more for the development of intelligent combat capabilities for the US military, because many products are cooperating with the US military.
The chain of interests of the U.S.-military industrial complex is also extending to the field of technology and AI. Haines, the director of national intelligence, worked as a consultant at Palantir & Co. Herberg, an expert on the United States and Karp's external policy adviser, even directly said that they are AI arms dealers in the 21st century.
OpenAI changes the wording of the technical ban.
The U.S. military deploys generative AI.
At the beginning of this year, the American artificial intelligence company OpenAI was revealed by the US media to have quietly revised the wording of the ban on prohibiting the use of its AI technology for military purposes.
In January of this year, according to the American Semafor**, OpenAI revealed that it was working with the Pentagon on a software project.
In August last year, the Pentagon announced the creation of a generative AI working group to analyze and integrate generative AI tools from the US Department of Defense.
Wu Mingxi believes that once the large model is used in the military field, the US Department of Defense can quickly use its dataset to optimize and adjust the model and develop products in the vertical field. For example, a model similar to SORA can bring about the most innovative combat and combat concepts, as well as the development of deceptive cognitive confrontation and jamming. "The U.S. goal is to build a data-driven, AI-empowered military, with thousands of autonomous swarm systems planned for land, sea, and air. This is bound to trigger a new round of AI arms race based on large models. ”
AI has gone to the battlefield.
How we should respond.
The application of AI in the military will bring subversive changes to intelligent perception, operational decision-making, cyber attack and defense, cognitive confrontation, rear support, joint training, and equipment development, and will have a profound impact on future wars.
Wu Mingxi said that we should accelerate development, build our own AI flagship, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible; Accelerate the process of military intelligence at all levels such as chips, materials, platforms, and systems, as well as in various fields such as perception, decision-making, strike, support, and defense; At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain a high degree of vigilance to guard against the security, legal, ethical, and arms race issues that AI may bring, and call on the international community to formulate relevant rules to prevent the excessive development of AI and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
