Oh, and I just bought an EV (but not a blue Tesla) last week and it might have been a smarter decision that I would have otherwise thought.

Yes, they are "using AI" but probably not as an overall battle management and information system like the Ukrainians have done. And the Ukrainians are very much in the baby steps phase with that. And such a system has very little to do with what Anthropic does.

I also suspect that nearly all optically (tv) guided weapons in the arsenal now use at least some computer vision AI for final guidance. That is cheap and simple to add, often just a software change. As an example, a pre-AI Tomahawk cruise missile could easily be targeted at a specific building or a part of a larger building. With AI targeting you could tell it which window to fly into.

I wondered if they were using AI.
Pictures on national news showed Dubai airport damage.
Let's not forget the school for girls that killed dozens. Israel or US bombs.

WSJ - Hours after cutting Anthropic out the Pentagon uses it for the strike on Iran

Reports are coming in that Iran has launched an attack on the Dubai International Airport and instructed oil tankers that the Strait of Hormuz is closed. This is a rapid pace of regional destabilization.

Iran has struck back with strikes throughout the ME. Dems are trying to force a war powers vote this coming week but without a super majority Trump will be able to veto it. Pictures in the link

there's a certain irony that the first round of attacks included a strike on a girls' school, reportedly killing 63 girls

So the chairman of the Board of Peace began bombing Iran while we were sleeping
