The US military is rapidly expanding its use of artificial intelligence in warfare, even as the Pentagon moves to phase out Anthropic’s systems over security concerns, reported by CBS News.
An internal memo cited risks linked to Anthropic’s AI, which had been used in sensitive areas like missile defense and cyber operations, according to the report. Despite the decision, sources said AI tools continue to support US operations, including targeting processes in the Iran conflict.

Experts told CBS News that AI now helps process vast battlefield data, identify targets, and plan strikes within hours rather than days. Human oversight remains central, with final decisions still made by personnel, the report said.
The shift has intensified competition among major tech firms such as OpenAI and Google to secure Pentagon contracts.
While traditional weapons still dominate warfare, analysts say AI is becoming a key force multiplier, reshaping how modern conflicts are planned and executed.
