Media reports that the US military used Anthropic’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Claude during operations targeting leaders in Venezuela and Iran are raising new questions about how quickly artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated into warfare.
American media reported that Claude was used to help facilitate a January operation that led to the capture of Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro. Similar reports later emerged that the chatbot was also used during preparations for an operation targeting Iran’s deceased supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
