The U.S. War on Iran has drawn widespread attention to the influence of AI and data science tools on military choices previously left to human judgement. At issue is whether the use of AI in military decision-making increases the risk to civilian life and if these tools accelerate the pace of war beyond the possibility of human oversight. Possible safety solutions, like improving the technical and regulatory guardrails over these systems, are meeting resistance in the United States and around the world. In the face of these challenges, how should technology, policy, and legal communities respond?
