The U.S. Pentagon reportedly used Anthropic’s Claude artificial intelligence model during a January operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolás Maduro, according to reports citing the Wall Street Journal. The AI was integrated through Palantir’s platforms, which are widely used by U.S. defense agencies. The incident highlights the military’s push to deploy advanced AI tools on classified networks, while also raising questions about company policies that restrict the use of such systems for violence or surveillance.
