+972 Magazine è un'iniziativa giornalistica congiunta
israelo-palestinese, che riporta alla mente Giancarlo Siani, quando
parlava di giornalisti giornalisti
sul tema dei sistemi di IA che guidano (? decidono!) le azioni
militari è uscito un libro anonimo a cura di un alto ufficiale
israeliano:
Y.S., Brigadier General. The
Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and
Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World.
Independently Published, 2021.
che in sostanza espone i presupposti teorici e progettuali di ciò
che gli articoli di Abraham descrivono.
lo sto leggendo. se anche qualcun altro lo facesse, poi ne parliamo.
perché mi pare che questo libro porti il discorso sull'IA in
territori a cui non avevamo mai pensato, tutti presi da altri
aspetti più evidenti/appariscenti.

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in
Gaza
The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as
suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with
little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties,
+972 and Local Call reveal.

In 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How
to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence
That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English
under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author
— a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the
elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 — makes the case for
designing a special machine that could rapidly process massive
amounts of data to generate thousands of potential “targets”
for military strikes in the heat of a war. Such technology, he
writes, would resolve what he described as a “human bottleneck
for both locating the new targets and decision-making to
approve the targets.”
Such a machine, it turns out,
actually exists. A new investigation by +972 Magazine and
Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an
artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,”
unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli
intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during
the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand
involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for
assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the
unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the
early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources,
its influence on the military’s operations was such that they
essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it
were a human decision.”
