Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

      WSJ was first to report that Anthropic’s Claude AI was used in determining targets in Iran, but it’s paywalled.

      Futurism published an article asking the Pentagon about it, and the Pentagon refused to answer questions.

        That would be a crazy turnabout given their public banning by Trump from being used by the USFG (mil included).

          Yes. Other news outlets commented how contradictory it was that they declared it a supply chain risk, yet continued to use it in an active military campaign.
