Brief news summary

According to an investigation by +972 Magazine, the Israeli military has used an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven "kill list" to target over 30,000 locations in Gaza during the recent conflict, resulting in civilian casualties. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly ignored the AI's false positive rate and intentionally targeted alleged militants in their homes, despite the higher risk to civilians. The use of AI technology, combined with lax rules of engagement, has led to a significant increase in civilian harm. The AI targeting software, known as "Lavender," assigns a score to individuals to estimate their likelihood of being a Hamas militant. The IDF then uses the AI system "Where's Daddy" to track alleged militants' return to their homes. The report highlights the concerns regarding the increasing use of AI in military operations and the need for stricter regulations and oversight to prevent civilian harm.

An explosive investigation by +972 Magazine reveals that the Israeli military has been using an artificial intelligence-driven "kill list" to select targets in Gaza, leading to civilian casualties. Despite a 10% false positive rate, Israeli Defense Forces intentionally targeted alleged militants in their homes, disregarding the increased risk to civilians. The use of AI technology, combined with lenient rules of engagement, has resulted in significant civilian harm in Gaza. The AI targeting software, known as "Lavender, " assigns scores to identify potential militants, and soldiers input this information into "Where's Daddy" software for monitoring.

This report highlights the concern that AI is accelerating and expanding the scope of warfare, putting civilians at greater risk. The role of human decision-making in AI-driven operations is also questioned, as perfunctory reviews may lead to increased civilian harm. The report emphasizes the need for responsible use of AI in military operations and urges policymakers, particularly in the US, to consider the lessons learned from Israel's experience.
