What Is Palantir Maven Ai: Giving a reward to Palantir, which is said to be the world’s most mysterious AI company, the US Defense Department has decided to make its Maven AI system the Program of Record i.e. the official program of the US Defense Department. In recent weeks, this same AI has helped the US military in targeted attacks in Iran. Now the US Army will be able to use this AI for a long time.
US Defense Department’s decision
According to the report of our colleague Gadgets Now, a memo from US Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, reviewed by Reuters, states that the US Department of Defense has decided to make Palantir’s ‘Maven’ artificial intelligence system a ‘program of record’ (official program). With this decision, it has been decided that Maven AI will be used in the US Army for a long time.
Project Maven was started in 2017
Project Maven was started by the American government itself. Then Google was associated with it. According to reports, when Google employees came to know that after the development of Project Maven, it could be used to kill people, protests started and Google withdrew from the project. Later other companies like Palantir, Amazon Web Services and Anthropic worked on this project. Anthropic separated from Maven AI this year. Today it has become so developed that it is seen as a ‘war operating system’.
The aim is to become ‘Google Maps’ of the war zone.
According to reports, the aim is to make Maven AI a ‘Google Maps’ of the war zone. Just as Google Maps tells about a route, in the same way Maven AI tells where the enemy’s location is. The work which was earlier done by human analysis is now being done by AI and the target is found in seconds. According to the information, the specialty of Maven AI is that it creates a common image by combining data coming from different places so that the entire battlefield can be seen on one screen.
Questions arising on the use of Maven AI?
The use of Maven AI has raised many questions.
- Will AI decide who to kill? However, in this matter ultimately the decision is taken by the human being.
- If AI commits a mistake like targeting a place where there are children or common people, then who will take responsibility for it?
