Gaza: Israel\u2019s army has deployed some AI-enabled military technology in combat for the first time in Gaza, raising fears about the use of autonomous weapons in modern warfare.<\/p>\n
The rising civilian death toll shows much greater oversight is needed over the use of new forms of defence tech, said Mary Wareham, an arms expert at Human Rights Watch. \u201cNow we\u2019re facing the worst possible situation of death and suffering that we\u2019re seeing today \u2013 some of that is being brought about by the new tech.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a first, the Israeli army has used an AI-enabled optic sight, made by Israeli startup Smart Shooter, which is attached to weapons such as rifles and machine guns.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt helps our soldiers to intercept drones because Hamas uses a lot of drones,\u201d an unnamed defence official told AFP news agency. \u201cIt makes every regular soldier \u2014 even a blind soldier \u2014 a sniper.\u201d<\/p>\n
More than 150 countries in December backed a UN resolution identifying \u201cserious challenges and concerns\u201d in new military tech, including \u201cartificial intelligence and autonomy in weapons systems\u201d.<\/p>\n
