Israel has somehow managed to gain access to WhatsApp metadata to find targets in Gaza for it's lethal AI called Lavender. Right, so this story seems absolutely nuts, but it seems that not only are Israel using Artificial Intelligence programs to label Palestinian individuals and their families as potential targets for bombing, but that amongst the data used by the AI systems to choose targets is real time data being provided by the social media messaging service WhatsApp, owned by Meta, the umbrella organisation which also includes Facebook. So what is this AI that has been developed, how on Earth can Israel claim to be avoiding excess casualties when it is allowing a computer algorithm essentially to pick targets and how on Earth is WhatsApp data coming into their possession, in real time as it would have to, to target a given person in a given place at that very moment, in order to launch airstrikes on that area? Right, so if you were wondering how on Earth Israel were killing so many innocent civilians, the committing of genocide in Gaza in their relentless pursuit of Hamas and were of the opinion they simply didn’t care, you weren’t wrong in that assessment, but it isn’t actually the entire story either, because it might not be people choosing these targets and being indiscriminate about it, but an Artificial Intelligence program for generating targets is being used by the Israeli military, going by the name Lavender, and it doesn’t appear to be that choosy either, though of course like any AI a lot of that can come from how it is designed and programmed, but also it seems is based on the data it is provided with to generate such responses. Now some news sources ponder the morality and ethics of using such a method to select targets, I personally think we passed that point long ago, but if you still consider the IDF the most moral army in the world or in any way ethical in what they do, the evidence they’ve blatantly planted, from laptops with Hebrew keyboards, to pointing at calendars as if they are some kind of Hamas task lists and weaponry stored behind MRI machines in hospitals, well, there’s probably a Nigerian Prince in your emails with the deal of the century for you. So what is this Lavender AI? Well here’s an excerpt from the Israeli magazine 972 to explain. Prepare to be horrifed: ‘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.” Formally, the Lavender system is designed to mark all suspected operatives in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), including low-ranking ones, as potential bombing targets. The sources told 972 and Local Call that, during the first weeks of the war, the army almost completely relied on Lavender, which clocked as many as 37,000 Palestinians as suspected militants — and their homes — for possible air strikes. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
