UK will train AI models on four years of Ukrainian battlefield data including drone datasets and strike footage to build fibre-optic sensor systems that detect and predict threats to defence sites, railways and energy infrastructure.

On 24 August 2026 The Guardian reported that the UK will train AI models on Ukrainian battlefield data from Ukraine's Avengers AI lab under a London-Kyiv deal. The scheme will be piloted at a UK defence site using AI-optimised sensors in buried fibre-optic cables to detect movement, with private firms Sintela, Mind Foundry and Skyral approved to access the data on a secure MoD platform.

Used well, Claude is of great benefit. Anil Seth is right to point out that to overestimate artificial intelligence is to underestimate ourselves (Once again we are told AI may be conscious, I study consciousness, and I have my doubts, 15 July).

Anil Seth is right to point out that to overestimate artificial intelligence is to underestimate ourselves (Once again we are told AI may be conscious, I study consciousness, and I have my doubts, 15 July). But he is wrong only to have doubts about whether AI systems like Claude may become conscious.
