Ukraine to pick AI models operated without provider control, official says

AI Summary

Ukraine plans to use AI models that can operate independently on its own servers to avoid reliance on external providers who might restrict access or shut down services. This strategy targets enhancing AI resilience for government, business, and military uses during wartime conditions.

By Leo Marchandon and Gianluca Lo Nostro July 7 (Reuters) - Ukraine will favour AI systems it can run on its own servers, a senior ministry official said on Tuesday, as wartime Kyiv seeks to keep digital tools for government services, businesses and the military from depending on remote systems that providers can restrict or switch off.
