Bad example.

In every war, countless innocent people die due to mis-targeting or other failure modes. At times the casualty count there exceeds military deaths. It is so common that we have a term for it: collateral damage.

So the question is: does AI lower such damage?

If AI had not been used in the attack on Iran, history indicates the death tolls in this regard would likely been much higher.

Not making a political statement or implying support for the war. Just making a point that these comparisons are more complicated that your example.
