SETAV discusses the increasingly destructive role that artificial intelligence plays in modern warfare, with a specific focus on its use in the Gaza conflict. The report analyzes how AI-powered systems have been deployed for military targeting, autonomous weaponry, and surveillance, raising concerns about the humanitarian impact and ethical implications of AI in combat.

The article explores how AI algorithms used for targeting can cause unintended consequences, including civilian casualties and the escalation of violence. It also delves into the ethical dilemma of using autonomous systems that may lack human oversight, questioning accountability in military decision-making.

Legal experts and human rights advocates argue for stricter international regulations on the use of AI in warfare, stressing the need to ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly and ethically in conflict zones. The report calls for a global treaty to regulate AI use in armed conflicts to prevent further escalation and protect civilians.
