Gaza: A.I. and the End of Human Security.

Canadian Political Science Association, Toronto, Canada

Abstract: Gaza: A.I. and the End of Human Security For the first time, an Israeli AI program ‘Lavander’ was used to generate a target list for 2023/24 assassinations in Gaza. Subsequent to the October 7th attack, the system reportedly marked as many as 37,000 Palestinians as suspected Hamas linked militants to be potentially targeted in their own homes. What do we know about the use of AI in monitoring civilians and targeted assassinations? What don’t we know about the use of AI during peace and conflict by the military? What are the justifications for killing of civilians including children, errors in executions and implications for human security? Examining the use of AI by Israel in Gaza, this research investigates unchartered terrain of human insecurity and international norms on protection.
