derstandard.at (German)

A faulty US intelligence report generated with artificial intelligence nearly triggered a US military assault on a Chinese ship during the Iran war, according to a CNN investigation published Friday. The report, produced by Palantir's AI system, also failed to flag outdated imagery that led to a deadly US strike on schoolchildren in Iran. CNN reported the errors could have caused a war. The incidents highlight risks of relying on AI for military decisions. CNN's report emerged just before the White House banned the outlet, along with MS NOW and Politico, from press access.
