Israel develops AI to independently monitor humanitarian situation in Gaza
-
Israel's Defense Ministry is creating an AI platform called NRTM to monitor the humanitarian situation in Gaza, tracking metrics like food, healthcare, displaced people.
-
NRTM uses open-source data like aid organization reports, satellite imagery, news stories, and social media posts to create a real-time picture.
-
The goal is for NRTM to be an additional tool for decision-making and to provide more accurate data than Hamas-controlled sources.
-
NRTMcontradicts some aid organization claims, showing less internal displacement and building destruction than reported.
-
Israel hopes NRTM will allow better responses to health crises and show the reality beyond Hamas propaganda.
