"According to bombshell reporting by the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon used Anthropic's Claude AI model in planning military strikes on Iran over the weekend - and is likely still using it as the Trump administration's attacks carry on."
"In the opening salvo, either the US or Israel - though available information points to the former - obliterated the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school, located in the South-Iranian city of Minab. Most of the people killed in the strike, Al Jazeera reports, were elementary students aged between seven and 12."
"Given Claude's role in selecting at least some of the US military's targets in Iran, a major question remains unanswered: did the United States use AI to decide whether to massacre an elementary school?"
Following airstrikes that destroyed a girls' school in Iran and killed 165 elementary students and staff, the Pentagon refused to disclose whether AI systems influenced target selection. According to Wall Street Journal reporting, the Pentagon employed Anthropic's Claude AI model in planning military strikes on Iran and continues using it during ongoing Trump administration operations. The Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' school in Minab was struck, killing mostly children aged seven to twelve, with at least 95 others injured. A second strike subsequently hit the location, harming first responders and parents. The Pentagon declined to answer whether AI determined whether to target the school, referring inquiries to CENTCOM without providing additional information.
