"AI-Driven Warfare: Israel's Use of Technology in Gaza Conflict"
The Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as "Lavender," which has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war on the Gaza Strip. Lavender marks suspected operatives in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as potential bombing targets, leading to thousands of Palestinians, including women and children, being killed by Israeli airstrikes. The AI program's decisions were treated as if they were human decisions, resulting in a high number of casualties and collateral damage. The Israeli military denies using artificial intelligence to incriminate targets, stating that it is merely an auxiliary tool that requires independent examination by an intelligence analyst.
