On 28 February 2026, US forces struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school in Minab, Iran, killing between 175 and 180 people, most of them girls. The targeting was carried out by the Maven Smart System, built by Palantir, which had classified the building as a military facility based on an outdated Defense Intelligence Agency database. Although media attention focused on the chatbot Claude, the real failure was a bureaucratic one: the database had not been updated to reflect the building's conversion into a school years earlier. The incident highlights the lethal consequences of compressed kill chains and automated targeting infrastructure.

A class action lawsuit by the ACLU against the Minnesota State Patrol over journalist arrests was settled for $825,000. The US Department of Justice is investigating the Minneapolis Police Department for possible excessive force.

Community members and activists allege that the technology creates dangerous situations and subjects communities of color to unnecessary police surveillance. ShotSpotter defends its placement based on historical gunfire data.

An AI-powered weapon detection system called Omnilert failed to detect a handgun carried by a 17-year-old student at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee, on 22 January 2025. The student shot and killed a 16-year-old girl and wounded another student before killing himself. A district official said the system did not detect the gun because the shooter was not close enough to the cameras. The system was activated by police brandishing their weapons during the response.
