There's a definite possibility that AI incorrectly targeted a school for a missile strike and killed 160 children

Uh, no. Not at all.

The possibility is that the U.S. and Israeli militaries delegated some of their decision-making to a piece of software, and didn't verify that something it identified as a target was actually a target. They then bombed it, and they are still responsible for their actions.

They don't get to delegate the blame for a war crime to a software program, and phrasing it like this is helping them do that.

@cazabon @mathewi EXACTLY. They are doing everything to create a distance between their programming and the output of it, by making it appear autonomous, and they had no part in it, when this is how it’s designed to work.
Same with the ‘it’s sentient, blackmailed the CEOs or engineers, to prevent disconnect.’ Absolute PR bs trying to sell an illusion of a runaway train sentience to wash their bloody hands of all the harms they plan to inflict and use AI as a scapegoat for their crimes.
@cazabon I posit that the Israeli government, and its military, are incapable of telling the truth. They meant to hit the school. They meant to hit the hospital. They've been doing the same in Palestine for years...in case nobody noticed.☹🤨 @mathewi
@cazabon @mathewi It also entirely poasible that it was bombed on purpose, as school bombing have been a weekly occurance for over two years now...
@cazabon @mathewi they kill kids on purpose. They wanna wipe out future generations that could appose them.
