Move fast and kill people
The U.S. is using increasingly autonomous lethal weapons in Iran, targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps but also resulting in civilian casualties.
The article discusses the U.S. military operation "Epic Fury" that commenced on February 28 in Iran, during which it reportedly attacked 1,000 targets within the first 24 hours. This operation signifies a shift towards a new form of rapid warfare, where advanced technologies like the Maven Smart System and the AI system Claude play a crucial role in targeting decisions. While claiming to focus on military installations associated with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the operation led to tragic civilian casualties, including the deaths of at least 175 children in a school attack. This raises dire questions regarding the implications of utilizing such autonomous weaponry in warfare and the ethical dilemmas it poses, particularly as the U.S. positions its adversary as "radical left" groups, complicating the narrative around these military actions.
