Pentagon: Palantir AI Overreliance Led to Strike Killing 123 Iranian Children

Officials noted the system’s suggestions were acted on without adequate human checks, causing the tragedy. The department is reviewing its AI use and decision protocols, prompting wider debate on AI in warfare and accountability among policymakers.
