What to know

  • Pentagon modified AI targeting procedures and added civilian tracking data following the Minab school strike.
  • Changes focus on refining target vetting and using open-source data to better identify civilian locations.
  • Questions remain about the documentation and oversight of AI systems like Grok in military targeting decisions.
