US report: Palestinians used for AI testing

A U.S. report has revealed that the Israeli occupation has used Palestinians over the years as a testing ground for developing surveillance and military artificial intelligence technologies, before exporting them to security and police agencies in the United States and other countries. American writer Pam Russell explained that the assaults on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank have allowed the occupation to test AI-based systems for data collection and target identification, with military support from the United States. These systems rely on gathering vast amounts of personal data through facial recognition technologies, digital activity analysis, and social media monitoring, then using AI algorithms to classify individuals and generate target lists in a nearly automated manner. The Israeli intelligence agency "8200" plays a leading role in developing these technologies, including the "Lavender" and "The Gospol" systems, which were used during the war on Gaza. The report indicates that Palestinians were the first to be extensively subjected to these tools before they were transferred to security technology companies and systems in the United States. This raises concerns about the expanding use of AI in ways that reduce human oversight, increase violations of civil rights, and pose risks to privacy and individual freedoms.
