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.
they did it too late and i bet that wasn’t an accident.
You think it was for show? I am genuinely curious of someone else’s view because I’ve been skeptical myself. The fact they were even working with the Pentagon in the first place was a red flag to me.
they had to be deeply involved with the pentagon to enable the anthropic ai the ability to function, so they knew that it would be used in this way. the fact that they said no the day before they started bombing is suspicious timing alone when they could have said something much sooner.
not sure, I think this is just anthropic trying to keep their tech closed (they already started limiting what you can do with their API)
anthropic will keep providing claude to them until they are done transitioning to stop using it in favor of other providers but it will take around 6 months to do so
