Israeli AI System 'Lavender' Linked to High Civilian Casualties in Gaza

The artificial intelligence-driven targeting has sparked international concern and calls for a ceasefire.

An AI system named 'Lavender' used by the Israeli military has led to a significant number of civilian casualties in Gaza, targeting individuals with minimal human oversight.
The system, along with another program called 'Where’s Daddy?', has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians, including women and children, by targeting their homes.
Israeli intelligence officers revealed that the AI system often approved targets with a high error rate, leading to the deaths of non-militants.
International and U.S. pressure has led to a reevaluation of the use of such AI systems, but concerns about their legality and ethical implications remain.
The Israeli military disputes the claims, stating that their operations comply with international law and aim to minimize civilian casualties.
