Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, died in a joint US–Israel strike. This operation was not just a military assault, but an algorithmic one.

AI tools are now deeply embedded in the US' modern warfare.
- The operation "Epic Fury" in Iran
- The operation to abduct Venezuelan President Maduro

Palantir Technologies and Anthropic (the developer of the AI model Claude) are companies often mentioned in discussions about AI in the military.
· Palantir builds software used by the US Department of War to gather and organize large amounts of intelligence data into a single system.
· Claude helps defense analysts sort through vast amounts of information and generate insights more quickly.
· Strategies can be generated in seconds.
· Then the killing happens.

How far should AI go in war? Will humans lose control of life-and-death decisions in war? AI must not become another nuclear weapon.
