How is artificial intelligence aiding war in Ukraine?

In early March, Clearview A.I. founder, Hoan Ton-That, started reaching out to people who could help him present his technology to the Ukrainian government. Clearview holds a huge database of scraped photos from multiple social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The facial recognition company is already being used extensively in the U.S. According to Ton-That, the Russian invasion presented another implementation for the technology. "We saw images of people who were prisoners of war and fleeing situations," Mr Ton-That says "It got us thinking that this could potentially be a technology that could be useful for identification, and also verification." Last month, Ukrainian defence authorities began using facial recognition technology.
