Israel's AI System Lavender Criticized for High Civilian Casualties in Gaza

The AI-driven targeting system, developed after Hamas' attacks, has led to thousands of civilian deaths and raised global ethical concerns.

Israel's military reportedly employs an AI system named Lavender to identify targets in Gaza, sparking significant ethical and legal concerns.
Lavender, developed post-Hamas' October 7 attacks, has allegedly marked 37,000 Palestinians as potential assassination targets, with a reported 10% error rate.
The system's use has led to thousands of civilian casualties, raising questions about the reliance on AI for life-and-death decisions with minimal human oversight.
Israeli intelligence sources claim that human analysts serve merely as a 'rubber stamp' for Lavender's decisions, often spending only seconds to verify targets.
International scrutiny intensifies over Israel's military tactics, including a call from President Biden for Israel to better preserve civilian life and enable aid flow.
