Recent investigations reveal that Israeli forces are deploying advanced AI systems from companies like Microsoft and OpenAI for surveillance and military operations against Palestinians in Gaza. Following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, Israel dramatically increased its use of these technologies, which has had devastating effects, with over 50,000 casualties reported. Critics emphasize that the use of commercial AI in warfare raises serious ethical concerns, as these systems could revolutionize military operations and enable unlawful engagements.
The implications are enormous for the role of tech in enabling this type of unethical and unlawful warfare going forward.
Israel's military has called AI a 'game changer' in yielding targets more swiftly.
The real threat of these systems is what it will mean for our power.
OpenAI quietly removed language from its usage policy that prohibited military use of its technology.
