Israeli media outlets have reported on the use of an AI-assisted system called Lavender by the Israeli military to identify targets in Gaza. The system, with an error rate of about 10%, reportedly led to thousands of Palestinians being identified as potential bombing targets. Concerns have been raised by human rights and technology experts, with some suggesting that this AI use could amount to war crimes, considering the high number of civilian casualties in Gaza. Israeli military officials defended the system, stating that analysts verify targets according to international law. Critics argue that the use of AI in warfare raises ethical and legal concerns, with some experts suggesting that it violates international humanitarian law.
