Civilian Palestinians are often misidentified and targeted in conflict due to biased AI technologies. Recent developments show the misuse of AI in military operations to indiscriminately kill civilians in Gaza. Internationally, a new Global AI treaty aims to regulate responsible use, yet Israel's involvement raises concerns about whitewashing ongoing war crimes rather than holding perpetrators accountable. Technologies such as facial recognition and systems like Lavender and Gospel exacerbate the situation as they've been weaponized to automate targeting, resulting in tragic consequences for innocents caught in the crossfire.

The challenges posed by the weaponization of AI in military contexts necessitate a reevaluation of ethical standards governing AI deployment. The ongoing use of systems like Lavender for targeting reflects a systemic failure in AI oversight, where technologies initially designed for security can perpetuate human rights violations. Rigorous accountability mechanisms must be established to prevent AI misuse in conflict zones.
The international community must critically assess treaties that allow state actors, like Israel, to engage with AI technologies while committing human rights abuses. The increasing reliance on AI in military operations highlights a critical dimension of warfare that transcends traditional accountability, requiring mechanisms that ensure compliance with humanitarian principles and protection for civilians caught in conflict.
