The Israeli military in Gaza has integrated advanced AI technology, such as the Gospel and Lavender systems, into their operations, revolutionising the conduct of conflicts by enhancing target identification and facilitating quicker military decision-making. These technological advancements are geared towards optimizing the efficiency and precision of military actions. Nevertheless, the deployment of these AI systems raises significant ethical concerns related to civilian safety and the level of human oversight.
This analysis delves into the impact of these systems on military strategies, innocent civilians and global perceptions, highlighting the intricate interplay between technology, warfare tactics and ethical considerations. It sheds light on the evolving dynamics of modern conflicts in terms of strategies, policies and their implications on human lives. 1.
Employment of Gospel for Target Identification: In Gaza, the Israeli military has employed an AI system known as Gospel to pinpoint such potential targets as schools, medical facilities, places of worship and aid organization offices. Despite claims by Hamas officials citing over 30,000 Palestinian casualties—a considerable number being women and children—the Gospel system utilizes machine learning (ML) capabilities to sift through vast data sets for target identification. The Israeli military says that, besides increasing target accuracy, this system also hastens the target selection procedure through automation.
