I think that you should read this article:

https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Read it carefully.

Note: This article is based substantially on anonymous sources verified by 972mag. Anyone who has done a lot of reading on Israel-Palestine has probably accumulated a list of sources they've decided not to trust; if 972 is on your mistrust list, consider this article by the Guardian, who independently reviewed the article's accounts and effectively cosigns the sources' validity.

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza

The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local Call reveal.

@mcc back in December, a similar story made the rounds but at the time the name was “The Gospel”. I wonder if they renamed it or it’s a different one. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/14/1218643254/israel-is-using-an-ai-system-to-find-targets-in-gaza-experts-say-its-just-the-st

And I assume it considers anywhere there are Palestinians to be a target.

I hope they have a massive data leak so we can see what it’s really doing.
