Fixed the title, given that it's so "off the mark", to use the IDF's words. Let's break it down.
AI to generate targets:
To maintain the war’s breakneck pace, the IDF turned to an elaborate artificial intelligence [...] which could quickly generate hundreds of additional targets.
Flawed since any engineer reading these knows how inaccurate these can be. Imagine killing people based on those predictions.
Reviewing reams of data from intercepted communications, satellite footage, and social networks, the algorithms spit out the coordinates of tunnels, rockets, and other military targets. Recommendations that survive vetting by an intelligence analyst are placed in the target bank by a senior officer.
Another machine learning tool, called Lavender, uses a percentage score to predict how likely a Palestinian is to be a member of a militant group, allowing the IDF to quickly generate a large volume of potential human targets. Other algorithmic programs have names like Alchemist, Depth of Wisdom, Hunter and Flow, the latter of which allows soldiers to query various datasets and is previously unreported.
Genocide since:
Genocide charges against Israel brought to The Hague by South Africa question whether crucial decisions about bombing targets in Gaza were made by software, an investigation that could hasten a global debate about the role of AI technology in warfare.
