Claude is embedded in Palantir's Maven Smart System, a Pentagon targeting platform used to generate and rank strike targets. CENTCOM struck 13,000 targets in five weeks using the system. Amodei claimed the principle of human decision-making was upheld, but critics — including the creator of Project Maven — warn that AI-accelerated targeting compresses human review to a rubber stamp. Anthropic is simultaneously suing the Pentagon over a supply-chain blacklisting after refusing to allow Claude in fully autonomous weapons, while its AI remains part of the targeting system that produced the strike. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
