The UK signed a deal with Ukraine to access battlefield data from Ukraine's Avengers AI lab for training AI models to protect UK defence sites, railways, and energy infrastructure. Three British AI companies, Sintela, Mind Foundry, and Skyral, have been approved for pilot projects using the data. The technology uses AI-optimised sensors in fibre-optic cables to detect movement around sensitive sites.
