The incredibly brave and resourceful Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham revealed Wednesday <https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/> in a hard-hitting piece of investigative journalism that the Israeli military has used two artificial intelligence programs, “Lavender” and “Where’s Daddy,” to target some 37,000 alleged members of the military wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The programs used GPS to discover when a Hamas member had gone home, since it was easiest to hit them there, ensuring that his wife and children would also be killed. If he lived in an apartment building, which most did, then all the civilians in neighboring apartments could also be killed– children, women, non-combatant men.
Science fiction writer Martha Wells has authored a series of novels and short stories about a “Murderbot.” <https://www.marthawells.com/murderbot.htm>, an artificial intelligence in the body of an armored warrior. Her Murderbot, despite being lethal, is a good guy, and in noir style frees himself from the control of his corporate overlords to protect his friends. The Israeli army, in contrast, is acting much more robotically. https://www.juancole.com/2024/04/murderbot-programmed-palestinian.html -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
