OpenAI's Pentagon agreement raises questions about where its AI could appear in the US conflict with Iran. Three potential use cases are examined: AI-assisted targeting decisions where analysts query models to prioritize strikes, counter-drone defense through OpenAI's partnership with Anduril and its Lattice platform, and back-office administrative use via the GenAI.mil platform. The piece highlights how generative AI is being used in active combat for the first time, with OpenAI joining xAI and Google in supplying models to the US military despite earlier pledges against weapons-related applications.
