U.S. military used AI to select over 1,000 targets in opening attack on Iran

The U.S. military used an AI system to select over 1,000 targets in its opening attack on Iran, including a strike on an elementary school in Minab that killed 150 people. Investigations suggest human negligence, as officials ignored warnings about outdated intelligence. Meanwhile, Iran and its allies used Anthropic's Claude AI for intelligence and weapons guidance. Autonomous drones with AI targeting have been used by Russia, Ukraine, and Libya, raising concerns about AI safety and oversight.
