The US reportedly used Anthropic's AI for its attack on Iran, just after banning it

The US government reportedly used Anthropic's AI technology, specifically the Claude model, in a recent air attack on Iran, despite President Trump ordering all federal agencies to cease using Anthropic's products. The article states that this is not the first time the US has used Anthropic's AI for military operations, as the Claude model was previously used in the capture of the former Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro. The article also mentions that the Department of Defense may start transitioning towards other AI options, such as those developed by xAI and OpenAI, but it would take months to replace Anthropic's Claude with other AI models. The article suggests that this incident highlights the complex relationship between the US government and the AI industry, as the government continues to utilize advanced AI technologies for military and intelligence purposes, despite public orders to the contrary.
