Questions Raised Over Israel's Use of AI Systems and Munitions in Gaza
-
Israel uses an AI system called "Where's Daddy?" to track suspected Hamas militants and target them when they return home to their families. This has led to civilian deaths.
-
Another AI system, "Lavender," identifies Hamas and PIJ militants to target. But it makes errors in about 10% of cases, misidentifying people.
-
Israel uses "dumb" bombs against junior Hamas members to conserve more expensive munitions. But these contribute to civilian casualties.
-
The high civilian death toll in Gaza has raised questions about whether Israel's actions adhere to international law and the principle of proportionality.
-
An IDF statement denied using an AI system to identify terrorists or predict if someone is a terrorist. But details remain scarce, like a "black box."
