Israel’s AI-powered 'mass assassination factory' | UpFront

Published 2023-12-22
“A mass assassination factory” was the headline of the investigation by +972 magazine and Local Call that unveiled the use of an artificial intelligence (AI) based targeting system by Israel.

The system, called Habsora, or the Gospel in English, uses advanced technology to get targeting recommendations faster than a team of human beings.

But, are technological advances making war deadlier? What kind of information goes into an AI-based military targeting system like the one Israel uses?

On UpFront, software engineer and member of the Stop Killer Robots coalition, Laura Nolan, talks to Marc Lamont Hill about using AI systems in warfare.

  • The Average person might think it's all complicated and advanced....But it's not. It's the "Shabath Elevator" of War crimes. It's a "Plausible Deniability" smoke screen. A certain country thinks that if they give something a different name and a confabulated description, it doesn't make them exactly what they are. For example: The Dahia Doctrine can be described by one word and it starts with a "T" and ends with an "ism".

    Israeli govt. never actually wanted a one-state solution, nor two-state solution. You cannot negotiate permanent peace with people like that.

    I differently don't consider her an AI expert. There are plenty of software engineers out there but not a lot of weapons AI engineer experts.

    Israel is the new 1939 Germany. They survived long enough for them to become the villain.
