Meta and Lavender

Lavender is Israel's system of "pre-crime" - they use AI to guess who to kill in Gaza, and then bomb them when they're at home, along with their entire family. One input to the AI is whether you're in a WhatsApp group with a suspected member of Hamas. Where are they getting this data? Is WhatsApp sharing it? Paul Biggar writes.

“The Israeli military’s bombing campaign in Gaza used a previously undisclosed AI-powered database that at one stage identified 37,000 potential targets based on their apparent links to Hamas, according to intelligence sources involved in the war.
In addition to talking about their use of the AI system, called Lavender, the intelligence sources claim that Israeli military officials permitted large numbers of Palestinian civilians to be killed, particularly during the early weeks and months of the conflict.”

It’s important to note that even those so called “low ranking militants” weren’t confirmed to be actual PIJ or Hamas combatants but “individuals judged to have the characteristics of a PIJ or Hamas militant”. In other words they could have easily all been innocent civilians. #GazaGenocide #LavenderAI

Seems like a good day to write out this old truism again:

A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore, a computer must never make a management decision.

😐 This whole AI thing seems to be coming along swimmingly.

"...the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.”
