00:00We are standing on the edge of something that feels uncomfortably familiar.
00:04In the 1940s, code-breaking decided the fate of nations.
00:07At Bletchley Park, Alan Turing and an army of mathematicians cracked Enigma,
00:12and in doing so, shortened a world war.
00:15Now, of course, reports suggest Claude was used in Operation Epic Fury.
00:20Different century, different machines, but once again, intelligence,
00:24this time the artificial kind, is edging closer to the battlefield.
00:29The ink isn't even dry.
00:31The commander-in-chief signs the order Anthropic is banned from federal systems,
00:35labelled a national security threat, a supply chain risk.
00:39The instruction is absolute. Remove them completely.
00:43Not because of what they've done, but because of what they could become.
00:47But then, of course, hours later, in the Middle East, missiles slammed into Iran.
00:52And the engine behind the targeting? Anthropic's Claude AI.
00:56Still running inside United States Central Command systems, even after the ban.
01:02You, of course, read that right.
01:03The White House had just ordered federal use of the technology halted, calling it a national security risk.
01:10Yes, as the bombs fell, the very same AI was plugged into battlefield planning and target analysis.
01:17Different orders, different outcomes, different war.
01:20But the contradiction is now part of the story.
01:24Anthropic built its brand on constitutional AI.
01:27Strict safety guardrails.
01:29CEO Dario Amode looked at the Pentagon's wish list and said,
01:33No.
01:33No mass domestic surveillance or, for that matter, fully autonomous killer robots.
01:38The government fired back.
01:40They slapped a domestic Anthropic with the exact same label they use for foreign adversaries like Huey.
01:46It is established that the military cannot function without the code.
01:51The Pentagon actually demanded a six-month delay on the ban.
01:55It is, of course, evident that if Claude is unplugged today, the operational matrix is bound to be crippled tomorrow.
02:02So how exactly does a language model run a war?
02:06Well, by feeding it to the battlefield.
02:09Raw satellite feeds intercepted radio chatter decades of tactical history.
02:13It consumes the data.
02:15Then, of course, we move on to target identification.
02:18The military fed Claude petabytes of unstructured data, intercepted Persian language radio chatter, signal intelligence, and human intelligence reports.
02:29Intelligence assessments and then, of course, Claude connects the dots across a terabyte of noise to find the exact signal.
02:37Then, of course, comes the battle simulations.
02:39Commanders use Claude to run course of action, which is COA simulations.
02:46The implementation, this likely involved a retrieval augmented generation drag set up connected to a digital twin of the battlefield.
02:54It is, of course, truly mind-bending on how it plays millions of versions of the strike before even a
03:01single fighter jet leaves the tarmac.
03:03This, of course, is not a general who is hunched over maps in a war room, but a machine running
03:10thousands of scenarios in seconds.
03:13It calculates the collateral damage.
03:15It predicts the exact counterpunch from Tehran.
03:18Claude also identified the strike targets in Iran.
03:22It simulated the battle scenarios.
03:24It even helped plan the highly classified extractions of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
03:30The United States military utilized Anthropics' Claude AI to coordinate strikes in Iran and capture Nicolas Maduro,
03:38all while President Trump officially banned the startup as a supply chain risk.
03:45The clash ignited over Anthropics' refusal to remove safety guardrails for unrestricted warfare.
03:52But then, of course, the ban backfired into a massive strisand effect.
03:57Claude just rocketed to number one on the application store,
04:02fueled by a surge of public support for its constitutional AI stance.
04:07CEO Dariyomo Dei remains defiant, declaring the company will survive without government contracts.
04:12It's actually the ultimate narrative war.
04:14Pentagon firepower versus Silicon Valley ethics.
04:19And here, of course, is, ladies and gentlemen, the front page take.
04:23We are reporting on a weekend that changed history.
04:28Operation Epic Fury has leveled the landscape.
04:32The data is sobering.
04:34Hundreds are confirmed dead across the region.
04:37Reports indicate at least 150 lives which are lost in a single strike on a girls' school in southern Iran.
04:46Extremely unfortunate.
04:48Three US service members have been killed in action.
04:51Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is dead.
04:56We at Front Page are deeply sorry for the loss of life.
05:01But, of course, we have to face the truth, however uncomfortable it may be.
05:06War has changed and it will not change back.
05:10Enigma helped leaders understand the enemy.
05:12This time around, the machine helped shape the strike.
05:16From choosing targets to running battle simulations, the artificial system was part of the process.
05:22This, ladies and gentlemen, is a public acknowledgement and a step into AI-assisted warfare.
05:29This is Front Page by the AIM Network.
05:33As always, think AI, think AIM.
