Elon Musk’s Grok AI, developed by his company xAI, was deployed by the U.S. military in the recent bombing campaign against Iran, according to disclosures made in a U.S. court filing on Wednesday, 17.06.2026. A Pentagon official testified that Grok played a central role in selecting and identifying targets during the strikes, which saw over 2,000 munitions launched at 2,000 targets within 96 hours .

The revelation emerged in an environmental lawsuit against xAI’s Colossus 2 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, where authorities allege that gas turbines powering the facility cause pollution. The Pentagon countered that Grok’s operation is a matter of national security, arguing that its shutdown would compromise ongoing military operations. The chatbot’s involvement underscores the accelerating militarization of artificial intelligence, with critics warning of unchecked escalation in autonomous warfare systems.

Meanwhile, Japanese tech investor Masayoshi Son, a prominent AI advocate and backer of OpenAI, issued a stark warning on the same day about the dangers of AI-driven cyberattacks. Speaking to *Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung*, Son compared large-scale AI attacks to “machine gun fire,” emphasizing the urgent need for defensive AI systems to counter such threats .

The dual developments reflect a widening divide in the global AI landscape. While some nations and corporations accelerate the integration of AI into military and economic frameworks, others push for deregulation to attract investment. Argentine President Javier Milei, in an op-ed for the *Financial Times*, proposed creating “non-human” companies fully managed by AI, positioning Argentina as a tax-friendly hub for unregulated AI innovation .

Domestic reactions in the tech sector remain mixed. Alicia von Schenk, Germany’s youngest professor at age 30, newly appointed to the chair of Economics of AI at the University of Würzburg, cautioned against the current hype surrounding AI, urging a more critical assessment of its real-world impact . Jeff Bezos, speaking at the VivaTech conference in Paris, struck a more optimistic tone, asserting that AI would address labor shortages rather than replace human workers .

As AI systems like Grok move from experimental tools to operational weapons, the debate over governance, ethics, and accountability intensifies. The Pentagon’s invocation of national security to justify Grok’s deployment signals a new era in which AI is not merely a technological asset but a strategic imperative—one that demands urgent international oversight.

Grok, chatbotul lui Elon Musk, a fost folosit în bombardarea Iranului. Detaliile făcute publice de un înalt oficial de la Pentagon Grok, inteligența artificială dezvoltată de x-AI, compania lui Elon Musk, a fost folosită în bombardarea Iranului.  Informația a fost dezvăluită într-o declarație depusă în instanță de un înalt oficial de la Pentagon. Acesta a apărat un uriaș centru de date - Colossus 2, aflat la periferia orașului Memphis - care face obiectul unui proces de mediu. Compania lui Musk este acuzată că turbinele pe gaz care alimentează centrul de date poluează. Pentagonul argumentează că funcționarea chatbotului este o chestiune de securitate națională primordială. Grok ar fi fost folosit pentru a trage peste 2.000 de muniții asupra a 2.000 de ținte în 96 de ore, anunță The Independent.

USA nutzten Musks Grok im Iran Die USA haben im Krieg gegen den Iran ein auf Elon Musks Grok beruhendes KI-Modell eingesetzt. Bekannt wurde das am Mittwoch im Rahmen einer Umweltklage gegen ein Rechenzentrum von Musks KI-Unternehmen xAI. Künstliche Intelligenz habe bei den Angriffen im Iran offenbar eine zentrale Rolle bei der Auswahl und Erfassung von Zielen gespielt, wie Regierungsvertreter laut Medienberichten in dem Verfahren offenlegten.
