Yeah MIT Technology Review, I'm sure that's all they "could" be used for and could never be used to kill brown families inthe countrysides of this who live in areas that have always been subjected to violent colonial forces. 🙄
At this point, this type of omission (how this type of tech, specifically, is financially viable to research because if its violent military applications) is an egregious ethical lapse and journalists should be called out for it.
@00Aaron We actually have lived experiences with how #AiDrones weren't used to locate 2 different #MissingPeople, in remote wilderness on South Vancouver Island - 3 years ago. We asked #RCMP to deploy #surveillance drones & they refused to. One of them was found dead, months later.
Prior to that, RCMP used drones, multiple times/daily, to harass us environmental #activists, guarding the blockades at multiple remote logging road resistance camps. #AItech is abused by #colonizer#cops
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
