Israel has spent more than a decade developing its “AI factory,” a system used to support its military attacks on Gaza since 7 October, 2023, The Washington Post reported.
Citing multiple sources familiar with Israel’s use of artificial intelligence in Gaza, the daily reported that Israel has been advancing AI technology for over 10 years to target locations in Gaza more efficiently.
Some sources, including former Israeli military personnel, expressed concern that the Israeli military’s use of AI has significantly increased civilian casualties.
The report reveals that AI systems, including “Gospel” and “Lavender,” processed intelligence at an unprecedented pace, enabling the Israeli military to bomb 12,000 targets in Gaza in weeks.
Soldiers worked in what was described as a “target factory,” prioritizing speed over intelligence assessment and reducing the time needed for evaluation to as little as three minutes.
