Lavender AI
Context
An AI program known as “Lavender” has been used by the Israeli Defense Force to identify targets in Gaza since the start of the war. Though Israel has rejected the claims.
About
- According to the investigation, Lavender used broad parameters to identify potential targets, designating about 37,000 people for potential air strikes.
- It reportedly used machine learning to identify characteristics of militants and assigned people a score of 1-100, based on factors including association with suspected militants and frequently changing their phone.
- Lavender marks people — and puts them on a kill list.
- The program was developed, as per the joint investigation, by Israel Defense Forces’ elite intelligence division, Unit 8200. This is similar to America’s National Security Agency or UK’s GCHQ.
