13:14Now PlayingCyber warfare is becoming an increasingly important part of modern conflicts and the war in Iran is revealling the rapid growth of the digital battlefied. Iran has previously been linked to cyber attacks on governments, companies and infrastructure in the past, and some analysts say Tehran will likely carry out cyber retaliation, in addition to its military response to the the US and Israeli attacks.
And the Pentagon is using new digital technology in this war: it's been testing the Claude chatbot developed by the AI company Anthropic, to help analyse vast amounts of military data. Just ahead of the war a dispute errupted between Anthropic and the Pentagon over Claude. The row was over whether Claude could be used in mass surveilance of civlians and authonomous weapons. Anthropic refused its use and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth then declared the company to be "a national security risk".
