Expert dismisses Russian commander's 'highly unlikely' claim about crucial military advantage over US

General Vasily Elistratov, head of Russia's AI development, recently claimed that Russia is leading the AI race against foreign partners, particularly the US, amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. This assertion has been met with skepticism from experts, including former DIA intelligence officer Rebekah Koffler, who argues that it is 'highly unlikely' Russia is ahead in AI development. The war has intensified the competition for AI advancements, with both Ukraine and NATO nations also striving to enhance their capabilities.

Koffler highlights the differing approaches of the US and Russia towards AI, noting that while the US focuses on technological advancement, Russia has leveraged AI for psychological warfare and disinformation campaigns. This strategy has allowed Russia to potentially influence public perception and disrupt adversaries through cyberattacks. Although Russia may be making strides in certain areas, Koffler maintains that the US remains superior in overall AI development.
