A recent investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call exposed Israel’s use of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered targeting system, which has been dubbed a “mass assassination factory.”
The system, known as Habsora (meaning “Gospel” in English), leverages advanced AI to provide faster targeting recommendations, outpacing the capabilities of human decision-makers.
However, as AI technology advances, questions arise about its potential to make warfare more lethal. What data feeds into AI-driven military targeting systems like Israel’s, and what implications does this have for modern combat?
On UpFront, software engineer Laura Nolan, who is also a member of the Stop Killer Robots coalition, discusses the role of AI in warfare with Marc Lamont Hill. Nolan emphasizes the challenges of holding software systems accountable for their actions in the context of military use.
