Israel's AI-driven bombing campaign in Gaza raises civilian casualties

Israel's military has been using an AI target-creation platform called "the Gospel" to select bombing targets in Gaza during its offensive against Hamas. The platform, which uses machine learning and advanced computing, has significantly accelerated the production of targets, with the IDF claiming to have identified over 12,000 targets in Gaza. The Gospel has been used to produce automated recommendations for attacking targets, including the private homes of suspected Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives. Concerns have been raised about the risks posed to civilians as advanced militaries increasingly rely on complex and opaque automated systems on the battlefield.
