Zelensky calls on international partners to limit AI tech exports to Russia

The head of state announced this at the Fair Play conference on the introduction of additional sanctions against Russia, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“We must now work to ensure that the latest technologies are included by partner states in their export control priorities. This includes artificial intelligence since AI is increasingly and more often integrated into weaponry,” Zelensky said.

The President noted that restrictions should be established as soon as possible on the supply to Russia of ready-made artificial intelligence models that can be used for military purposes.

"Also (the supply should be limited of - ed.) tools and services for AI training. This is cloud services, high-performance computing equipment, as well as specialized datasets, including commercial satellite images. That is, our sanctions efforts must be absolutely specific in each field," he added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry posted on the War&Sanctions website an update on modernized Shahed-136 drones now fitted with a camera and artificial intelligence software.
