Israel is using AI systems with known inaccuracy risks at ‘almost every stage’ of its military operations, says Heidy Khlaaf, chief AI scientist at the AI Now Institute.
Israel’s use of artificial intelligence (AI) in its ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip—supported by tech giants such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon—is fueling concerns over the normalization of mass civilian casualties. It is also raising serious questions about the complicity of these firms in potential war crimes, according to a leading AI expert.
Multiple reports have confirmed that Israel has deployed AI models such as Lavender, Gospel, and Where’s Daddy? to conduct mass surveillance, identify targets, and direct strikes against tens of thousands of individuals in Gaza—often in their own homes—with minimal human oversight.
Rights groups and experts say these systems have played a critical role in Israel’s incessant and apparently indiscriminate attacks, which have laid to waste massive swaths of the besieged territory.
