Inside Israel’s AI targeting system: How data from a phone become a death sentence
The Israeli military has used an AI-powered targeting system to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon, fusing data from various sources including smartphones and drones. Experts warn that such systems could misidentify civilians, as seen in the case of Ahmad Turmus, a 62-year-old man killed in February.
The Israeli military has launched attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon using a targeting system powered by artificial intelligence. The system combines data from smartphones, security cameras, Wi-Fi signals, drones, and social media to track targets. Ahmad Turmus, a 62-year-old man, was killed in February after receiving a call from an Israeli military officer. Turmus was a liaison between Hezbollah and residents of Talloosah, a village near the Israeli border. The Israeli military said he was working on 'military and financial matters' for Hezbollah. The AI system likely gathered data on Turmus from drones, cell-site simulators, and other sources, ultimately leading to his targeting.
