GoKawiilPentagon review ties Palantir's Maven AI to deadly Iran school strike
A Bloomberg investigation citing an unreleased Pentagon review found that overreliance on Palantir's Maven Smart System contributed to a strike that killed over 150 people, including 123 children, at an elementary school in Iran on the first day of the war. Outdated intelligence wrongly labeled the school an IRGC facility, and Maven surfaced it as a recommended target without flagging the stale data, officials said. Palantir denies responsibility, saying it does not own the underlying intelligence data, while the Pentagon retains accountability for what is fed into the system.
