The authoritative publication Forbes concluded that Ukrainian specialists are increasingly using artificial intelligence in the war against Russian invaders. First of all, journalists drew attention to "killer robots" that mercilessly destroy the enemy.

Points of attention

  • Ukraine successfully uses AI warfare to deter Russian aggression and ensure technological superiority.
  • New details on the creation of autonomous drones and the unique robot Ratel N.
  • The use of killer robots and modern technologies in military operations increases the effectiveness of the defense and offensive of Ukrainian forces.

Artificial intelligence and its role in war

What is important to understand is that Ukraine has received a considerable amount of modern technology from its Western allies and is using it extremely successfully to deter Russian aggression.

Just as David won victory over Goliath thanks to its technological superiority, there is hope that their support will give Ukraine an advantage over its much larger Russian opponent, the publication writes.

In addition, it is noted that 300,000 people were employed in the technology sector in Ukraine at the beginning of the war, and many startups switched to developments that could help the military.

And the Cabinet has created the Brave1 funding platform to allow companies to pitch defense technology products to investors. According to journalists, the mentioned platform received thousands of applications.

One of the main breakthroughs we have seen in Ukraine is the use of autonomous drones. While unmanned aerial vehicles have been used in many conflicts over the past decade, they are usually piloted remotely by humans, Forbes notes.

According to journalists, drones are already being used in Ukraine that can track and strike enemies without human interaction — "in other words, real killer robots."

In Ukraine, a unique robot was created to rescue soldiers

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov recently officially confirmed that the Ukrainian robot, which can transport several wounded soldiers from the battlefield at once, has already been put into mass production.

What is important to understand, the Ratel H robot can carry 400+ kg of live load.

In addition, it is emphasized that its design allows you to move on difficult terrain, work quietly and efficiently in conditions of low visibility.

Ratel H can be equipped with a variety of installations, such as EW, observation posts, combat modules and demining installations.

OpenAI will sue Musk for harassment — what is known

On April 9, OpenAI filed a countersuit against Elon Musk, claiming systematic harassment.

Points of attention

  • OpenAI has filed a countersuit against Elon Musk, accusing him of systematic harassment to prevent the company from transitioning to a commercial model.
  • Elon Musk, through media attacks and legal maneuvers, has allegedly attempted to obstruct OpenAI's transition, crucial for attracting investments and competing in the AI industry.
  • The legal dispute signifies a power struggle over the strategic direction of OpenAI and its importance in the competitive field of artificial intelligence development.

OpenAI files countersuit against Elon Musk

The authors recalled that Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2015. However, Musk left it before it became one of the leaders in the technology field.

In 2023, he founded his own artificial intelligence company, xAI. Since then, Musk has been trying to prevent OpenAI from switching to a commercial operating model, which is what caused the current legal conflict.

To raise all $40 billion in investment in its current funding round, OpenAI must complete this transition by the end of the year.

Through media attacks, targeted campaigns to his more than 200 million followers on the social platform he controls, fabricated demands for corporate documents, pressure lawsuits, and a fictitious attempt to acquire OpenAI assets, Musk has used every means at his disposal to harm OpenAI, the company said in a statement filed as part of the already open Musk v. OpenAI case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

OpenAI has asked the judge to stop Musk's actions and "hold him accountable for the harm he has already caused."

The jury trial in this case is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026.

In a post on Musk's X platform, OpenAI said:

Elon's continued actions against us are nothing more than unscrupulous tactics aimed at slowing down OpenAI's development and appropriating leading innovations in artificial intelligence for his own benefit.

Last month, Musk's company xAI entered into a deal to acquire X for $33 billion, which allows it to share the value of the AI company with the social network's investors.

Musk, who is also CEO of Tesla, sued OpenAI and Sam Altman last year, accusing the company of straying from its original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, not for corporate profit. Musk did not respond to a request for comment on OpenAI’s new statement.

OpenAI and Altman deny these allegations, and Altman claims that Musk was trying to slow down a competitor.

This case concerns the transition of ChatGPT's developer to a commercial model, which, according to the company, is important to attract additional investment and to successfully compete in the expensive race for the development of artificial intelligence.
