Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of Ukraine’s Army of Robots at IT Arena in Lviv and opened applications for defence-tech companies, engineers, and a CTO/tech lead. The initiative explicitly builds on the Army of Drones launched in 2022, where drones now account for more than 95% of strikes and Ukraine has more than 700 UAV manufacturers. The program shifts Ukrainian defence innovation toward robotisation by funding and scaling battlefield robotics alongside other defence technology projects, aiming to move faster from battlefield needs to deployed systems.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to have a one-on-one dinner with President Donald Trump at the White House. The meeting is set for tonight, following Axios’s report on September 27, 2026. It marks a new direct contact after prior disputes over AI safety policies and an earlier Pentagon designation of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk.
An appeals court declined to block the Pentagon’s national-security supply-chain-risk designation targeting Anthropic. The decision left in place the Pentagon’s designation over Anthropic. As a result, Anthropic remains subject to the Pentagon’s blacklist-related procurement and security restrictions while broader frontier-model governance scrutiny continues.
China and the U.S. agreed to create a channel for AI-related incident handling and to expand military crisis communications after a three-day Washington summit. The talks included an AI-specific dialogue scheduled for November and continued efforts to reduce reciprocal tariffs on about $30 billion of goods. This leads to new working groups and communication mechanisms aimed at reducing the chance of escalation and speeding follow-on trade work.
