The Iranian strikes didn’t involve autonomous weapons systems. The “AI” component was used for target selection.

The actual aiming and firing of the weapon was performed by humans. In theory the target selection was also vetted by humans, but humans relying on exactly the same data that resulted in the “AI” systems misidentification of the target.

I put “AI” in scare quotes there, because these systems are really data processing pipelines, rather than LLM style AI systems.
