00:00In the US's first strikes on Iran, AI reportedly played a crucial role.
00:05Assessing intelligence, identifying targets and running battle simulations during Operation Epic Fury.
00:12For all of that, the US military is said to have used clawed AI.
00:16That's a powerful large-language model developed by the US tech giant Anthropic.
00:20Interesting detail.
00:21President Donald Trump told US agencies to stop working with Anthropic just last Friday.
00:27Why the ban?
00:28Anthropic refused to allow its software to be used for mass surveillance of US citizens
00:33and it opposes full AI access to autonomous weapon systems.
00:37As a result, Anthropic has fallen out of favor with the Trump administration.
00:42All this shows, it's difficult if a government relies heavily on a private company for AI intelligence.
00:48The Pentagon has reached deals with chat GPT maker OpenAI and Elon Musk's ex-AI,
00:54but it could take months to replace clawed.
00:56Anthropic AI is already deeply woven into tools like Palantir's AI platform,
01:02which supports US defense and intelligence work.
01:05The bottom line?
01:06AI is already shaping modern warfare.
01:09The big question is, which areas will the technology get access to and who will be in charge?
