Did Autonomous AI Pick That Girls' School for an Attack? [View all]

Sound outrageous? Maybe not. One of the reasons that the company, Anthropic, refused to not include safeguards in its AI system that would forbid the use of AI autonomous attacks on human-occupied targets was the deadly nature of "drug boat" attacks off Venezuela and in the Pacific. Were those autonomously controlled? So it seems.

Anthropic was insisting that safeguards be part of any military system that used its technology. Trump and the Pentagon refused. Now, they are blocking Anthropic from being used by any government agency or project.

So, who chose that girls' school for a deadly attack? A human being or an autonomous AI targeting system? I'm betting on the latter.
