The Israeli military deployed an AI-powered database called Lavender to identify 37,000 potential bombing targets in Gaza, with minimal human oversight. The system was developed by the elite intelligence division Unit 8200, raising legal and moral concerns.
Intelligence sources hinted at Israeli military officials potentially allowing significant civilian casualties during the conflict's initial phases. The use of AI in warfare is transforming the interaction between technology and military decision-making.
According to an intelligence officer involved, the AI targeting with Lavender was considered unprecedented; they expressed more trust in statistical mechanisms than in soldiers grieving losses from the war.
