A tense discussion about artificial intelligence and warfare has erupted online after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei faced criticism over his response to questions regarding AI-assisted military targeting. The controversy centred on allegations that AI technology may have been involved in identifying targets connected to a deadly strike on a girls' school in Iran.
While there is no public evidence proving Anthropic's Claude directly selected the target, Amodei's reaction during the interview quickly became the focus of public anger, with critics arguing that his comments highlighted deeper concerns about accountability in the age of AI-powered warfare.
