> Bloomberg, citing people involved in the investigation, reports that the US military relied on AI when deciding to strike a girls’ elementary school in Minab, southern Iran. US Central Command allegedly relied too heavily on Palantir’s Maven Smart Systems. The Pentagon reportedly concluded within hours that the US was responsible, but its investigation remains unpublished. Iran says 175 people were killed and 95 injured; rocket fragments at the site bore US ammunition markings.
