The U.S. Department of Defense utilized Grok, an artificial intelligence system developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, during recent airstrikes in Iran, according to reports. This revelation came through a written statement by Cameron Stanley, the Pentagon’s director of AI operations, submitted to a court. The AI reportedly supported an operation involving over 2,000 targets struck within a 96-hour period. The use of AI in military operations has prompted calls for stricter legislation in the U.S. Congress. Lawmakers are now demanding that human oversight remain central to all final decisions regarding military action. The incident raises concerns about the increasing role of artificial intelligence in warfare and the potential for autonomous weapons systems. Further scrutiny of the Pentagon’s AI activities is anticipated.
