U.S. used Anthropic's Claude during the Venezuela raid: report

In a dramatic turn of events, the United States successfully executed a covert operation in January to apprehend Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who faces serious drug-trafficking charges. Reportedly, the U.S. employed Anthropic's AI model, Claude, to strategize and facilitate the raid, marking a significant use of artificial intelligence in international law enforcement. The operation involved meticulous planning and intelligence gathering, leading to Maduro's swift extraction from Venezuela and subsequent transport to New York, where he is now expected to stand trial. This unprecedented action has reignited discussions about U.S.-Venezuela relations and the implications of using advanced technology in military operations. The involvement of AI in such high-stakes scenarios raises questions about the future of international law and the ethical considerations surrounding the deployment of AI in government operations.
