Israeli publications +972 and Local Call have uncovered the use of artificial intelligence programs by the Israeli military to create a “kill list” in Gaza, targeting up to 37,000 Palestinians for assassination. The AI system known as Lavender, along with another system called “Where’s Daddy?”, were used to track and target individuals, leading to entire Palestinian families being wiped out in their homes. Journalist Yuval Abraham exposed these systems and their consequences, revealing a shocking lack of human oversight and accountability in the Israeli military’s actions.
Abraham’s investigation also exposed the intentional destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza using AI system called “The Gospel”, aimed at pressuring Hamas through civilian casualties. The reliance on AI in military operations has raised concerns about ethics, accountability, and the devastating impact on innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
The Israeli military’s use of artificial intelligence in targeting Palestinians has sparked outrage and condemnation, with Abraham warning that AI-based warfare poses a danger to humanity. The unchecked use of AI systems in military operations has resulted in mass casualties, including women and children, highlighting the need for greater oversight and accountability in the use of AI technology in conflicts.
The revelations by +972 and Local Call shed light on the deadly consequences of relying on artificial intelligence in warfare, and raise questions about the ethics and morality of using AI systems to target individuals and communities. The Israeli military’s use of AI technology to carry out targeted assassinations and bombings has come under intense scrutiny, with calls for transparency and accountability in the use of AI systems in military operations. Abraham’s investigation highlights the need for greater scrutiny and regulation of AI technology in warfare to prevent further human rights abuses and civilian casualties.
