The United States military reportedly utilized Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, to simulate a large-scale attack on Iran. Over 96 hours, the AI was used to “launch” over 2,000 virtual missiles targeting 2,000 distinct locations within Iran. This exercise was conducted as a war game scenario to assess potential outcomes and strategies. Details regarding the purpose and specifics of the simulation remain limited, but it highlights the increasing integration of AI in military planning and strategic exercises. The simulation did not involve any actual physical launches or attacks. The use of Grok raises questions about the role of private technology in national security simulations and potential implications for international relations. No official comment has been released by the Pentagon or Elon Musk regarding the report.
