Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropics Claude AI tool.
The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
Applegrove: according to an AI expert on CBC Radio's As It Happens, Claude is by far the best AI tool out there for the military so when Trump does trash it and go with something else it will result it more deaths of US military and civilians on the ground. Even with using Anthropic's Claude AI, a girls' school got destroyed in Iran killing over a hundred young girls. I wonder if they are related?
