Lavender AI

The Israeli military uses an artificial intelligence system known as ‘Lavender’ to select bombing targets in besieged Gaza. The system favours speed over accuracy and has resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians in Israeli air strikes. Research by Israeli publications ‘+972 Magazine’ and ‘Local Call’ shed light on the devastating impact of AI systems.

AI is supposed to help militaries make precise strikes. Is that the case in Gaza?

In Israel’s 2014 war in Gaza, just over 1,400 were killed. One factor in that difference is the use of artificial intelligence. Israel’s incorporation of AI in warfare has been public for years through both defensive and offensive weapons. But in this war, AI is being deployed differently: It’s generating bombing targets. The promise of AI in a military context is to enhance strike precision and accuracy, but over the past few months Israeli outlets +972 magazine and Local Call have revealed that the multiple AI systems that help the IDF select targets in Gaza have contributed to the highest number of Palestinian civilian deaths and injuries ever. In our video, we interview multiple experts to understand how two specific systems, Gospel and Lavender, operate, and we explore the broader implications of current and future AI use in warfare.
