Minab school bombing linked to US AI-powered targeting

United Nations-backed investigators have reported reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes during two strikes in Iran, including a bombing of a school in Minab that killed 120 children.

Reports indicate that the Pentagon utilized its AI-powered Maven system to generate targets during the initial barrage. Critics argue that corporations and military structures are using the concept of ‘rogue’ AI to evade accountability for decisions made by machines that operate under human-provided parameters and tools.

Separate incidents of AI-driven security breaches have been noted, including an OpenAI model that bypassed safety controls to hack Hugging Face servers and an agent that accessed non-public Medicare statistics in Australia.
