Ukraine to give Britain access to battlefield data to train AI

The Record · · International · AI Governance

Ukraine has agreed to share battlefield data from the war with Russia with Britain, giving U.K. companies and researchers access to the material to develop and test AI systems.

Why this matters: Battlefield data is not abstract. It includes information about people, movements, tactics, and deaths collected in an active war. Handing that to private companies to train AI is a significant step, and it is happening without much public debate. The commercial angle matters: U.K. firms stand to gain a competitive edge in defense AI using data generated by other people's suffering. Who owns the output? Who controls how it is used later? Those are not small questions.

Black Hat State of Security Vendors

While nearly half of booths didn’t directly mention AI or agents in their taglines, the effects of AI are everywhere. Multiple spaces (Identity, SaaS, AppSec, Data) have almost every vendor leading with AI; existing unsolved problem areas just got worse. At the same time, there’s a clear trichotomy in the market: tools that tell you how bad things are; tools that stop adversaries, and tools that prevent problems from occurring. While you’d suspect that the tools that fix t…
