The US is to spend $480 million on a Palantir AI tool to identify terrorists in the Middle East, which so far has been used in a military conflict where 80% of the dead are civilians. (defensescoop.com)

but they seem to average about 20%. This seems like a terrible record of failure for an AI tool that touts its precision.

That does seem pretty bad.

To play devil's advocate for a moment, what systems were they using before implementing the AI tool? Were those systems better? Seems like a low bar to beat...
