According to the NYT, there were "at least 175 people" killed. Mostly children (it was a girls elementary school) Possibly relevant are the concerns of the use of AI to determine targets. A park called "police park" was bombed and this has been taking as part of an increasing collection of evidence of "warslop". The park had nothing to do with police or the military and was likely determined by AI https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/03/iran-war-heralds-era-of-ai-powered-bombing-quicker-than-speed-of-thought https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/03/iran-war-... https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-israel-ai-iran https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-israel-ai-iran

There's absolutely no evidence of any of that.

  Easier to name it null, not giving it a postal code, using non-ascii characters, two names within the same language, giving the park two addresses, giving the park an address without a location, or just not giving it a name at all.

The US has been remotely striking targets for 20+ years and famously racked up a high casualty count on drone strikes during the Obama admin. The (incorrect) assumption you’re making here is that the US not only is using AI for later stage targeting, but that there is also no human who signed off on this. Note that the AI targeting system here, Maven, has been around even before GPT-2. This is just pure AI alarmism. The worst part is absolutely anybody can sign up for Palantir AIP right now for free and see what it actually does with LLMs (spoiler: very boring!)

  First of all, the use of AI to determine targets is well documented. > The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the US military in Iran has “leveraged the most advanced artificial intelligence it’s ever used in warfare, a tool that could be difficult for the Pentagon to give up even as it severs ties with the company that created it.” > According to the Post, Palantir’s Maven Smart System—which contains Anthropic’s Claude AI language model—reportedly helped US commanders select 1,000 Iranian targets during the war’s first 24 hours alone. Second of all, I agree. There is certainly a human signing off. But AI ethics research has shown a clear and consistent a human bias towards trusting automated systems when there is ambiguity. I am not at all trying to redirect blame but I think it'd be foolish to not acknowledge the risks introduced with involving AI in decision making even if a human ultimately makes the call

We had bad intelligence before we had AI. This is just shunting blame and responsibility away from individual humans (who can theoretically be held accountable) to a nebulous concept.
