"Since Oct. 7, the Israeli military has relied heavily on cloud and AI services from Microsoft and its partner OpenAI, while the tech giant’s staff embed with different units to support rollout, a joint investigation reveals."

“#Unmanned” is now the name of the game in future warfare."

… "This is only the beginning of the innovations from the current war in Gaza. Almost eight months of war have brought a myriad of new tech to the front, and more systems, from rocket launchers to artillery, will continue to be rolled out."

In May, the Washington-based "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies" republished a keen article from The Jerusalem Post: https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/05/30/idf-tech-innovation-redefines-the-war-in-gaza/ @military @israel

Tzahal preferred to use “dumb” bombs to strike the homes of the marked persons. “You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people — it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs],” said C., one of the intelligence officers.

If a junior target lived in a building with only a few floors, the army was authorized to kill him and everyone in the building with a dumb bomb.
“We usually carried out the attacks with dumb bombs, and that meant literally destroying the whole house on top of its occupants. But even if an attack is averted, you don’t care — you immediately move on to the next target. Because of the system, the targets never end. You have another 36,000 waiting.”

B., the senior officer, claimed that in the current war, “I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”

According to B., a common error occurred “if the [Hamas] target gave [his phone] to his son, his older brother, or just a random man. That person will be bombed in his house with his family. This happened often. These were most of the mistakes caused by Lavender,” B. said.

“Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”

“Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
• the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
• the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
• the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
• the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”

"In this episode we talked with Sefi Cohen, head of Data Science squad in the IDF. He tells us about the different projects they're doing and how he started a Data Science team with very little knowledge of Machine Learning and Data Science techniques, how he chose the right people for this team and how they all learned the craft together."

Lt.-Col. Nurit Cohen Inger has overseen #Data at the Israeli #military’s Computer Service Directorate. She showed her enthusiasm on #AIWar to JNS.org in 2017:

“The top level in this field of big data is to have a system that makes recommendations on what to do, based on the data. We are there.”

In theory, this could figure out where to direct strikes, to achieve maximum damage.

Inger said AI “can influence every step and small decision in a conflict, and the entire conflict itself.”

“For this system to work, it has to function at a very high level,” she added. “AI is a machine that has the intelligence characteristics of a person—in this case, by giving recommendations.”

Human commanders will still make the final decisions, Inger said, but they will receive “very precise and relevant recommendations. This is happening, and it will happen much more.”

Behind any aircraft that takes off for an attack, there are thousands of soldiers, men and women, who make the information accessible to the pilot. "They produce the targets and make the targets accessible. To set a target, it’s a process with lots of factors that need to be approved. The achievement, the collateral damage and the level of accuracy. For that, you have to interconnect intelligence, (weapon) fire, C4I [an integrated military communications system, including the interaction of troops, intelligence and communication equipment] and more," said Nati Cohen, currently a reservist in the Exercises Division of the C4I Division of the army.

The first AI war was in May 2021.

#IDI stands for the Intelligence Division of the Israel army. Here is some praise of technology usage:

May 2021 "is the first time that the intelligence services have played such a transformative role at the tactical level.

This is the result of a strategic shift made by the IDI [in] recent years. Revisiting its role in military operations, it established a comprehensive, “one-stop-shop” intelligence war machine, gathering all relevant players in intelligence planning and direction, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and production, and dissemination process (PCPAD)".

Watching #MilInt match and cheering for Inter instinctively because in my mind AC Milan are Evil Empire, or at least more so between the two. Need a sort of Power Rankings for Evil Empire clubs. I think Roling Stone (maybe another magazine?) used to have a current event feature that was a continuum of "with us" and "against us" #MastodonFc #championsleague
