Israel's use of AI in Gaza is coming under closer scrutiny
Briefly

One answer was to keep a 'man in the loop' - to ensure that a human always approved each decision to use lethal force. But in 2016 Heather Roff and Richard Moyes cautioned that a person 'simply pressing a 'fire' button in response to indications from a computer, without cognitive clarity or awareness', does not meaningfully qualify as 'human control'.
The sources claim that the algorithms have been used to create 'assassination factories' in which the homes of thousands of Hamas members, including junior ones, are marked down for air strikes, with human officers providing merely cursory oversight.
It is also claimed that the IDF would be willing to risk killing 15-20 civilians in order to strike a Hamas fighter. For Hamas battalion or brigade commanders, that number rose to more than 100.
