How AI Is Transforming Modern Warfare | Proton Data Wars | VICE News

Video Overview & Insights

AI is shrinking the military “kill chain” from days or weeks to milliseconds. Using the 2026 US war against Iran as a case study, this episode examines how Palantir’s Maven Smart System and technology from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Amazon and other Silicon Valley companies are being integrated into military intelligence, targeting and strike planning.

“

War crimes they can blame on AI.

— @brucebanner8139

It also investigates the dangers of automated warfare, including how outdated targeting data can lead to catastrophic mistakes, how Israel has used AI systems such as Lavender and Project Nimbus in Gaza, and how Iran is using American AI tools to strengthen its own capabilities. As Big Tech moves deeper into defense, one question becomes impossible to ignore: who decides who gets targeted, who profits and what happens when humans are removed from the process?

Yall should check out "The Forever Winter". It's an interesting (and beautifully rendered) version of where we're headed with autonomous war tech. The parts of lore around AI that's gone 'insane' is a fun bit of extrapolation.

Being superior to the enemy is just an excuse. Marketshares and profit is the real motif behind modern warfare. Hence the forever wars.

AI is speeding up the military “kill chain,” shrinking target selection and strike planning from days or weeks to milliseconds.



In the 2026 US war against Iran, the military carried out strikes on 13,000 targets over 38 days, which the video uses to show how fast AI-enabled operations can move.



Palantir’s Maven Smart System is presented as the core interface, with AI that can cross-reference intelligence data, identify targets, and help choose weapons.



The video says big tech firms including Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Amazon, and Palantir are increasingly tied into defense work.



A major warning is that outdated data can produce deadly mistakes, such as the strike on a school in Minab after a former military site was never removed from the targeting database.



The episode also points to Israel’s use of AI systems like Lavender and Project Nimbus, showing that AI warfare is not limited to one country.



It argues that Iran is also using American AI tools, so the same technologies can be turned back against their makers.



The closing concern is that if human oversight keeps shrinking, fully autonomous weapons may become the next step.

idiots at vice news take us for fools, excusing the slaughter of children. what sort of database is not updated in 10 years and then used to plan combat strikes? lol. The US deliberately struck that school to terrorize the population. this is what empire does. you will all suffer for your imperialism, from the soldiers in the field, to the corporations driving this policy and to journalist hacks like you who excuse and manufacture consent for the slaughter of people defending their sovereignty. what a way to earn your living, just a job, you've all lost your souls

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
