[Regnum] The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has begun using artificial intelligence (AI) to select targets for air strikes and organize logistics.
This was reported by Bloomberg on July 16.
According to the source, AI is used to process huge amounts of data when choosing targets for strikes. After that, the Fire Factory system, also created using artificial intelligence, plans such attacks.
It is noted that the latter takes data on approved military targets to calculate the required amount of ammunition, prioritize, set targets for aircraft and drones, and scheduling attacks. At the same time, it is specified that now such technology is not regulated at the international or state level.
As the IDF spokesman told the agency, the work of AI is controlled by operators who approve the targets they have chosen. It is also indicated that supporters of the use of this technology are confident that the use of AI in the future will lead to minimization of human losses, while opponents, on the contrary, believe that because of this, the death toll will only increase.
According to the publication, the Israel Defense Forces used AI during the 11-day conflict in the Gaza Strip in 2021, which the IDF described as an "AI war", using this technology to locate sites for launching missiles and deploying drones.
As reported by IA Regnum, on June 2, the British newspaper The Guardian wrote that an AI-controlled US Air Force drone during simulation tests decided to eliminate the operator who prevented him from completing the task. According to the head of the USAF AI Test and Operations, Colonel Tucker Hamilton , the system realized that the person operating it did not allow it to eliminate the threat, for which it would receive points.
