AI is now part of the culture wars — and real wars

The U.S. launched 100 fighter jets against Iran, resulting in the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This military action involved AI tools from Anthropic, raising alarms about the use of technology in warfare.

This incident highlights the growing integration of AI in military operations, with both the U.S. and Iran employing advanced technologies. The implications for international security and the future of warfare are profound, as AI changes the rules of engagement.

Experts warn of a dyadic automated warfare scenario, where AI systems could outpace human decision-making. The potential erosion of nuclear deterrence raises urgent questions about global stability and the need for governance in AI technologies.
