AI Summary

long article 5 min

The US military has confirmed using AI tools in the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran. This collaboration between the Pentagon and tech companies dates back decades, with the internet itself originating from a military-funded project. AI tools, including large language models, are now being used to analyze data, translate information, and potentially support autonomous weapons systems. While many AI companies prohibit the use of their technology for military purposes, the US military has used AI in operations, such as the operation to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3. The US military states that humans will always make the final decision on targets, but AI significantly speeds up processes.
