223 Palestinian journalists killed, AI targeting systems blamed
Original: 223 Palestinian journalists killed since Oct 23. AI # Lavender & # Gospel automate targeting, flagging # WhatsApp users
Critics say 223 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the start of the Israel-Gaza war, and are drawing attention to Israeli AI systems reportedly named Lavender and Gospel that allegedly automate the selection of bombing targets, including flagging WhatsApp users as militants without court review. Commenters argue this marks the end of due process and warn the same AI targeting architecture could be imported into US practice.
Why now: Ongoing anger over journalist deaths and alarm at reports of AI-assisted military targeting in Gaza.
