Are you certain that AI is used in any of the tech that the US is sending to Ukraine?

It's mostly cold war era equipment, designed around the '90s or earlier. Modern AI also seems very failure-prone for military applications around populated areas.

What about the air defense systems? Those things surely need advanced compute.

There’s also drones, communications systems, electronic warfare systems, jets etc…

None of those systems are autonomous, people still handle the decision-making. Also, AI does not mean faster or more advanced compute; the fact that it requires so many cycles and watts is a testament to its relative inefficiency.

Aerospace code is much too thoroughly-vetted to use something as slow and imprecise as a modern AI system. Existing realtime platforms and sensors are plenty fast, and you can prove that they'll work correctly. Plus, when you're procuring chips to run in an adverse environment, advanced process nodes will probably be too fragile and prone to interference.
