Israel accused of using AI to target West Bank demolitions

Original: Israel weaponises AI for West Bank demolitions

Critics say the technology accelerates home demolitions and displacements, raising legal and ethical questions, while the story is drawing wide attention amid ongoing tensions in the region.

Why now: The use of AI in military and occupation practices is a highly controversial topic and this report lands amid ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine.
