Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei says he does not know whether the company’s AI model, Claude, played any role in a missile strike in Iran that killed an estimated 120 children. In interviews reported by multiple outlets, Amodei describes uncertainty about how, if at all, the system was connected to the attack. Bloomberg reports that he said he cannot determine Claude’s involvement, highlighting what it characterizes as a broader knowledge gap among AI executives as advanced AI tools are increasingly sold to or used by military customers. Forbes similarly quotes Amodei saying they “don’t know exactly how” Claude AI was used in connection with the strike. The Next Web reports that Amodei was referring to the attack on an elementary school in Minab on February 28 and characterizes it as “a really terrible” event. Across the coverage, the central point is the same: Amodei does not have information confirming whether Claude contributed to targeting or execution of the strike, while authorities’ details about the AI’s role are not established in the articles themselves.
