The headline says "contributed to missile strike", not caused it.

>people that decided to shift a significant weight of decision-making authority to an AI

And I hedged that. Anything short of 100% responsibility with humans is a failure. I get investigating how it occurred, but that needs be very careful to separate ought from is.

That's fair

The obvious questions is when the intelligence needed to be updated (ie, when Iran decided to put a girls school on a military base) and when Iran made that fact public, or at least when the US intel should have figured it out with satellites and other sources.

If it's years old then definitely on human. Intelligence will always be flaky in these hostile countries.

> when Iran decided to put a girls school on a military base

That's quite common. The US DOD operates 163 K-12 schools.

In this case:

Thanks for sources.

The timeline answer seems to be 2015, which was when IRGC converted a military building to a school. And it got hit by 2 tomahawks in quick succession. Tomahawks which cost $1M each. The intelligence bar seems so too for this stuff.

> In this context, the “Sayyid al-Shuhada” military complex in Minab stands out; it includes key headquarters, most notably that of the “Asif Brigade”. The Asif missile brigade is considered one of the most important strike arms of the IRGC Navy.

So basically the whole thing was high priority for leveling but they weren't careful enough.

The military is a very blunt object sometimes, despite all the technology.
