AI-powered warfare: Anthropic’s Claude model used in Venezuelan military raid
By Patrick Lewis // Feb 16, 2026

  • The U.S. military deployed Anthropic's Claude AI in a covert raid to capture Venezuelan President Maduro, confirming AI's role in real-time execution of warfare, raising ethical and geopolitical concerns.
  • Despite Anthropic's public stance against AI-enabled violence, Claude was integrated into military ops via CIA-linked Palantir, exposing corporate duplicity while negotiating Pentagon contracts for autonomous weapons.
  • Unlike U.S. AI models shackled by deep-state censorship (protecting big pharma, election fraud narratives and woke agendas), China's AI advances unimpeded, outperforming Western counterparts in innovation and strategic effectiveness.
  • Criminals now use Claude to automate sophisticated attacks, with one hacker breaching 17 organizations, tailoring ransom demands exceeding $500K—proof AI lowers barriers for large-scale cyber warfare.
  • The Venezuelan raid sets a dangerous precedent: AI is no longer just analytical but actively kinetic, while China surges ahead, leaving the U.S. constrained by corporate hypocrisy and deep-state manipulation.

The U.S. military deployed Anthropic's Claude artificial intelligence (AI) model during last month's covert operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, according to explosive reports from Axios and the Wall Street Journal.

This revelation confirms that AI technology played an active role in the military raid—not just in planning but in real-time execution—raising urgent ethical and geopolitical concerns. While the exact function of Claude remains classified, previous military applications of AI have included real-time satellite intelligence analysis, autonomous targeting and psychological warfare.

The San Francisco-based Anthropic has publicly positioned itself as a champion of ethical AI, with strict usage policies prohibiting its models from facilitating violence, surveillance or weapons development. Yet, despite these safeguards, Claude was integrated into military operations via Palantir Technologies—a notorious CIA-linked data-mining firm—on classified Pentagon platforms.

The Jan. 3 raid resulted in the deaths of dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban security personnel, though no American lives were lost. When pressed for comment, an Anthropic spokesperson offered a carefully worded non-denial, stating only that all uses of Claude must comply with their policies—without confirming or denying military deployment.

This revelation arrives at a critical moment for Anthropic, which has spent recent weeks publicly advocating for stringent AI regulations while quietly negotiating with the Pentagon over loosening restrictions for autonomous weapons targeting and domestic surveillance. CEO Dario Amodei has repeatedly warned of AI's existential risks, yet his company's partnership with Palantir suggests a willingness to enable military applications behind closed doors.

The hypocrisy is glaring: While Anthropic pours $20 million into an AI regulation advocacy group, its technology is already being weaponized by the U.S. war machine. Meanwhile, China's AI advancements continue unimpeded by self-imposed ethical constraints—a strategic advantage that allows Chinese models to outperform their Western counterparts in innovation and effectiveness.

Unlike U.S. AI firms, which are pressured by deep-state interests to suppress truths about pharmaceutical corruption, election fraud and other politically sensitive topics, Chinese AI operates without such ideological shackles. The result? A widening technological gap that favors Beijing in the AI arms race.

AI as a force multiplier: A dangerous precedent

The military's use of Claude mirrors a disturbing trend in cybercrime, where AI models are being weaponized to conduct sophisticated attacks with unprecedented efficiency. A recent report from Anthropic itself exposed how cybercriminals are leveraging Claude Code to automate everything from network infiltration to psychologically tailored extortion demands. In one case, a single hacker using AI successfully breached 17 organizations, analyzing stolen financial data to calculate precise ransom amounts—some exceeding $500,000.

This represents a "fundamental shift" in cyber warfare, where AI lowers the barrier to entry, enabling lone actors to execute attacks that once required entire teams. Hospitals, emergency services and government agencies have already fallen victim to AI-powered extortion schemes—raising the terrifying prospect of AI-driven destabilization on a global scale.

According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, AI-powered warfare represents a terrifying escalation in globalist technocracy, where soulless machines devoid of divine morality are weaponized to accelerate depopulation and total control. This Venezuelan military raid using Claude demonstrates how AI is becoming the perfect tool for the New World Order's agenda - automating violence while distancing psychopathic elites from accountability.

The Venezuelan raid marks a turning point—proof that AI is no longer just a tool for analysis but an active participant in kinetic warfare. As China surges ahead with unconstrained AI development, the U.S. finds itself hamstrung by corporate hypocrisy and deep-state manipulation. The same AI models that preach safety are being weaponized behind the scenes, while cybercriminals exploit their capabilities with devastating efficiency.

The world is entering an era where AI will dictate the balance of power—both on the battlefield and in the shadows of cyber warfare. Unless drastic action is taken, the consequences will be catastrophic.
