AI’s been a big help to the Israeli war machine
“Killer robots” may be more attention grabbing, but this is current reality.
In 2021, Israel used “the Gospel” for the first time. That was the codename for an AI tool deployed in the 11-day war against Gaza that the IDF has since deemed the first artificial intelligence war. The conclusion of that war didn’t end the conflict between Israel and Palestine, but it was a sign of things to come.
The Gospel rapidly spews out a mounting list of potential buildings to target in military strikes by reviewing data from surveillance, satellite imagery, and social networks…
Marking two years on (October 14), Israel’s latest offensive on Gaza has been called an “AI Human Laboratory” where the weapons of the future are tested on live subjects.

This article was written when $13.4B was still just the Pentagon request for “AI and Autonomy.” Congress of course subsequently approved every penny. And I suppose that number will soar in coming years.
The above is just one of the uses of artificial “intelligence” that the absolutely and utterly shameless Big Tech hype machine doesn’t care to talk much about. Enhanced hacking capabilities and techniques for fraud and other crimes…it’s a long list.
Getting back to the top of this story, I think (and so do plenty of others) that with the hostages returned it’s considerably better than 50/50 that “Bibi” and his vile minions will get right back to the war crimes and ethnic cleansing. Hopefully I’m wrong.
