US Employs AI in Minab School Strike
9.2
Reports and independent analyses tie US-led strikes on Feb. 28 to a Minab school bombing that killed over 165 girls and staff. Investigations and satellite imagery indicate AI tools—notably Anthropic's Claude via Palantir's Maven—helped generate and prioritize hundreds of targets, shortening the kill chain. The incident raises urgent questions about AI reliability, targeting safeguards, and civilian risk in military operations.
