US Central Command rewrites SI targeting rules after the strike on a school in Minab
Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Publication time restored from the build log. . Updated: .
Military SI is not being switched off but taught to check itself: the emphasis on speed remains, now with machine insurance against stale data.
After the February strike that killed more than 150 people, including more than 120 children, CENTCOM changed three things: the procedure for updating and rechecking pre-planned targets, it added open data sources for tracking civilian movement, and it made dozens of refinements to the Palantir Maven system. Maven now re-reviews the underlying intelligence, looks for signs that rule out a target and helps determine a building's purpose; SI agents continuously reassess data instead of relying on outdated imagery. The Pentagon stresses that strike decisions are still made by commanders; in Congress, people are asking whether a pace of about 1000 targets a day creates blind spots that humans do not have time to notice.
