Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used in wars around the world. Recently, the US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, has revealed that it used Grok AI to launch missiles in the war with Iran.

The fact that the US and Israel used the AI ​​platform 'Grok', owned by the world's richest man, Elon Musk, who is also a special friend of Trump, in the identification and analysis of more than 2,000 targets during the joint military operation against Iran has been made public.

Quoting a US military source, The Independent reported that Grok was included in the Pentagon's 'Maven Smart System'. The system helped prepare a list of potential targets by analyzing large amounts of data from surveillance, intelligence information and the war zone. The Pentagon claims that the final decision on the use of AI so far has been made by human military officers.

The US government has announced that it will spend billions of US dollars on defense-related AI technology, intensifying its collaboration with private sector AI companies. Musk's company XAI launched a service called 'Grok for Government' a few months ago. It is said to be designed for defense, security and federal agencies.

According to US media, XAI is currently competing for contracts worth potentially millions of US dollars in the defense sector of the US and other countries. This is considered the first major incident of the use of Grok in military activities during active warfare.

The use of AI in the military is not limited to Grok. Previously, the US military has admitted to using Anthropic's cloud in a special military operation to capture then-President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Similarly, Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and more than 8 other major AI companies have also signed agreements to collaborate with US security agencies. This year, the Pentagon announced plans to provide potential contracts of up to $200 million each to various companies including OpenAI, Google, Nvidia and others to expand AI capabilities.
