"Inside the US Central Command (CENTCOM), which oversaw the attack [on the Iranian school], officials said some personnel relied too much on the AI embedded in the Maven Smart System.
Developed by Palantir Technologies, the AI-enabled system uses more than 150 different data inputs to create a coherent set of information to inform commanders' decisions on complex military operations-- from targeting to command and control.
Since Trump returned to the White House, a Bloomberg probe found that the US Defence Department has heavily relied on Maven, making it a cornerstone of the US military apparatus. Several former senior US military officials now reportedly work for Maven's parent company, and their role is to keep the software functioning inside secure military environments."
