Anthropic CEO Uncertain How Claude Aided School Strike

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei admitted he does not know exactly how Claude AI was used in a missile strike that killed around 120 children at an Iranian elementary school in February. He defended the incident, saying a human made the final decision and the use case did not violate company policy. A preliminary Pentagon report found U.S. forces were likely responsible for the bombing, which involved a Tomahawk missile. The strike has intensified scrutiny of AI use in military operations, amid an ongoing legal battle between Anthropic and the Defense Department after Amodei refused to grant unrestricted military access to Claude.
