Israel has deployed its entire offensive to combat the terrorist organization Hamas, after the Islamist attack against civilians on October 7. Artificial Intelligence plays a very important role in the total war in the Middle East.
Artificial Intelligence seeks the greatest accuracy not only at the time of attack, but also at the time of defense. Thus, we see that the Artificial Intelligence Recommendation System processes data for the selection of air attack targets, according to explains Marisa Newman for Bloomberg.
On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence Fire Factory It works with planes and drones, always supervised by human operators, to undertake selective attacks.
“What used to take hours now takes minutes, with a few more for human review,” says a colonel cited by Bloomberg, codenamed Uri. “With the same number of people, we do much more.”
The October conflict is not the first in which the Israel Defense Forces used Artificial Intelligence against Hamas.
In 2021, during a confrontation that lasted 11 days, leaving 260 deaths in Gaza and 13 in Israel, IDF used AI to identify Hamas rocket platforms.
With the sending of drones they destroyed the places, thus sealing his victory.
Defensive systems with Artificial Intelligence constitute, in the words of Marisa Newman for Bloomberg, a “vast digital architecture dedicated to interpreting huge amounts of drone and CCTV footage, satellite images, electronic signals, online communications and other data for military use.”
The use of technology also leaves several concerns, such as calculation errors compared to civilians, the possibility of automating even decision-making and lack of knowledge about internal functioning, given the rapid adoption of technology.
But Israel does not hesitate to use it, as a way to definitively end Hamas’s Islamist terrorism in the area.
