Speeding Up the "Kill Chain": Pentagon Bombs Thousands of Targets in Iran Using Palantir AI

[Uncle Joe]

As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues, we look at how the Pentagon is using artificial intelligence in its operations. The system, known as Project Maven, relies on technology by Palantir and also incorporates the AI model Claude built by Anthropic. Israel has used similar AI targeting programs in Iran, as well as in Gaza and Lebanon.

Craig Jones, an expert on modern warfare, says AI technology is helping militaries speed up the “kill chain,” the process of identifying, approving and striking targets. “You’re reducing a massive human workload of tens of thousands of hours into seconds and minutes. You’re reducing workflows, and you’re automating human-made targeting decisions in ways which open up all kinds of problematic legal, ethical and political questions,” says Jones.

1. This is the new look of modern warfare. Take out the human aspect and you can kill without conscience.

You can automate the whole process.
Assess and acquire targets, launch weapons, review damage.....repeat.
No need to have any humans involved.
