Israel's Use of AI in Targeting Palestinians Sparks Global Concern

Israeli military used AI systems "Lavender" and "Where's Daddy?" to develop a "kill list" of up to 37,000 Palestinians for targeted assassination, with little human oversight, resulting in the bombing of homes and killing of civilians. The AI system, Lavender, rated individuals in Gaza based on likelihood of being Hamas or Islamic Jihad members, with minimal human supervision, leading to the deaths of innocent civilians. The Israeli military's use of unguided missiles and permissive firing policy resulted in the deaths of aid workers and civilians, raising concerns about potential violations of international humanitarian law. The IDF denies using an AI system to identify targets, but evidence suggests otherwise.
