il medesimo giornalista aveva già scritto su temi simili in novembre 2023:
Abraham, Yuval. «‘A Mass Assassination Factory’: Inside Israel’s
Calculated Bombing of Gaza». /+972 Magazine/, 30 novembre 2023.
https://www.972mag.com/mass-assassination-factory-israel-calculated-bombing-gaza/.
/+972 Magazine /è un'iniziativa giornalistica congiunta
israelo-palestinese, che riporta alla mente Giancarlo Siani, quando
parlava di giornalisti giornalisti
sul tema dei sistemi di IA che guidano (? decidono!) le azioni militari
è uscito un libro anonimo a cura di un alto ufficiale israeliano:
Y.S., Brigadier General. /The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy
Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our
World/. Independently Published, 2021.
che in sostanza espone i presupposti teorici e progettuali di ciò che
gli articoli di Abraham descrivono.
lo sto leggendo. se anche qualcun altro lo facesse, poi ne parliamo.
perché mi pare che questo libro porti il discorso sull'IA in territori a
cui non avevamo mai pensato, tutti presi da altri aspetti più
evidenti/appariscenti.

*‘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./
By Yuval Abraham

In 2021, a book
<https://books.google.co.il/books/about/The_Human_Machine_Team_How_to_Create_Syn.html?id=hjl1zgEACAAJ&redir_esc=y>titled
“The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and
Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was
released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it,
the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the
elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 — makes the case for designing a
special machine that could rapidly process massive amounts of data to
generate thousands of potential “targets” for military strikes in the
heat of a war. Such technology, he writes, would resolve what he
described as a “human bottleneck for both locating the new targets and
decision-making to approve the targets.”
Such a machine, it turns out, actually exists. A new investigation by
+972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has
developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as
“Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli
intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the
current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the
use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a
central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially
during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources,
its influence on the military’s operations was such that they
essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a
human decision.”
