Project Maven blamed for 2026 US airstrike on a school in Iran

BBC World Service says Meredith Whittaker, who organized a 2018 Google walkout over Project Maven, claims the AI defense program was responsible for a 2026 US airstrike on a school in Iran that killed 150 people. Google dropped the project, which a rival firm took up. The US military has not released its findings on the Minab strike; the defense secretary says it does not intentionally target civilians.
