As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues, we look at how the Pentagon is using artificial intelligence in its operations. The system, known as Project Maven, relies on technology by Palantir and also incorporates the AI model Claude built by Anthropic. Israel has used similar AI targeting programs in Iran, as well as in Gaza and Lebanon.
Craig Jones, an expert on modern warfare, says AI technology is helping militaries speed up the “kill chain,” the process of identifying, approving and striking targets. “You’re reducing a massive human workload of tens of thousands of hours into seconds and minutes. You’re reducing workflows, and you’re automating human-made targeting decisions in ways which open up all kinds of problematic legal, ethical and political questions,” says Jones.
There won’t be a girls school or hospital left standing.
And AI chose nukes 94? percent of the time. 😶
Given the numbers of times they are stuck, AI also chooses girl schools and hospitals as legitimate military targets.
Just read that Palantir not only makes the software for targeting, but tracks cell phones running away from or heading towards (emergency services) a bombing to create the best double tap targets. Come the revolution, someone needs dragged from his mansion to face a People’s Street Tribunal.
