US AI system led to strike on girls' school in Minab, Iran

mk.ru (Russian)

Bloomberg reports that US military forces relied on artificial intelligence when deciding to strike a girls' elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, according to the publication. Sources involved in the investigation say US Central Command over-relied on AI from Palantir's Maven Smart Systems, and Pentagon officials concluded within hours that the US was responsible for the strike, which followed a series of small failures. The Pentagon reportedly finished its investigation months ago but has not released the report. The strike occurred during a major US-Israel military operation against Iran launched on February 28.
