According to a legal briefing disclosed by the US government, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence tool, Grok, under xAI was used by the United States military during operations against Iran. The briefing revealed that Grok was integrated into the Pentagon’s Maven Smart System, an AI-assisted targeting platform designed to process large volumes of intelligence and help identify potential military targets. This disclosure marks one of the first publicly acknowledged cases of Grok being used in lethal military operations. Critics warn that increasing reliance on AI in warfare could raise concerns over civilian casualties and oversight.
