UK’s Royal Navy to use AI for ‘hostile’ threats, including Russian movements in Arctic
Russia’s growing influence in the Arctic is a safety concern for the UK and Europe.
Russia’s war efforts in Ukraine show no signs of slowing down any time soon. The UK has now gone on alert regarding the Russians’ hostile activities in Arctic, posing a threat to the former and other European nations in the region.
According to reports, the UK is now considering use of AI to detect Russia’s hostile activities in the Arctic.
Furthermore, they are also focusing on strengthening ties with neighboring nations like Iceland so as to fight the Russians collectively.
The Arctic region is a very important area for Europe and the UK from a safety point-of-view, which justifies the former’s growing concerns. Russia’s actions in the Arctic are majorly helping their war in Ukraine, but there’s more to the story for Britain’s worries.
Apparently, Russia’s activities could also put important things like – undersea internet and communication cables that connect to the UK – at risk. The UK is teaming up with Iceland to combat this threat.
UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, said that they will announce a new joint scheme with Iceland to use cutting-edge AI technology to monitor Russia’s activities.
Mr Lammy said: “It’s more important than ever that we work with our allies in the High North, like Norway and Iceland, to enhance our ability to patrol and protect these waters.”
