Former CIA Director General David Petraeus said at the NDTV World Summit on October 23, 2026, that a human made the final decision in the bombing of Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, southern Iran, while artificial intelligence assisted the targeting process. The strike reportedly killed at least 156 people, including children. Petraeus’s remarks highlight the continuing debate over AI’s role in modern warfare and military accountability. His statement contrasts with earlier reports suggesting an AI-driven targeting process contributed to the deadly attack. The incident raises serious questions about civilian protection and human responsibility. (PC: Reuters)
