Scrolling through news and come across a headline — The operation to capture Maduro was led by a neural network.

What happened: According to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the Claude artificial intelligence model from Anthropic was used by the US military during a secret operation to capture Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.

Role of AI: Claude was used both for logistics planning and in the "active phase" of the operation. Although the exact details of combat use are classified, sources indicate the use of AI for real-time data analysis and coordination of actions.

How it became possible: The use of Claude went through the platform of Palantir Technologies, a long-time partner of the Pentagon. This allowed the military to bypass standard restrictions of commercial AI versions.

Developer reaction: Anthropic stated that their policy strictly prohibits the use of Claude for violence, weapons development, or surveillance. However, the Pentagon insists that leading AI labs (including OpenAI) provide their models for work in closed military networks without standard ethical "safeguards."

This is the first time in history that AI has been used for strikes and coordination of actions — before that, neural networks mainly analyzed satellite images and intelligence data. The news came amid reports that the Donald Trump administration was considering canceling contracts with Anthropic worth $200 million due to their tough stance on "AI safety," hindering military goals.
