“The responsibility cannot be shifted to any software system,” says software engineer Laura Nolan, who explains the use of AI in war.
“A factory of mass murder” was the title of the +972 magazine and Local Call investigation that exposed Israel’s use of a targeting system based on artificial intelligence (AI).
The system, called Habsora, or Gospel in English, uses cutting-edge technology to get targeting recommendations faster than a team of humans.
But are technological advances making war more deadly? What kind of information goes into an AI-based military targeting system like the one used by Israel?
On UpFront, Laura Nolan, software engineer and member of the Stop Killer Robots coalition, speaks with Marc Lamont Hill about the use of AI systems in warfare.
