- US airstrike on an Iranian primary school in Minab killed over 160 people, allegedly on February 28.
- Palantir's 'Maven Smart System' is criticized for using outdated data and automating the kill chain.
- The school was incorrectly listed as a military target in a database, and Maven adopted this classification without verification.
- Maven accelerates target selection by linking satellite imagery, sensor data, and intelligence, reducing human review.
- No AI language model was responsible; the error stemmed from outdated data and a fast, software-driven process.
- The Pentagon plans to expand Maven as a permanent military program with long-term funding by September.
