AI weapons systems are already here. Algorithms must not decide who lives and dies | Kenneth Roth

THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT KEEPS ME UP AND IT IS AN ALGORITHM LITERALLY DECIDING WHO DIES IN A WAR ZONE BECAUSE KENNETH ROTH IS EXPLAINING THAT ISRAEL USED AN AI SYSTEM CALLED LAVENDER TO TARGET PHONES IT EQUATED WITH HAMAS OPERATIVES AND THEN ANOTHER AUTOMATED SYSTEM CALLED WHERE'S DADDY TRACKED THEM HOME WHICH MEANT FAMILIES WERE OFTEN KILLED TOO AND MEANWHILE 128 GOVERNMENTS MET IN GENEVA IN SEPTEMBER TO TRY AND PUT A HUMAN IN THE LOOP FOR AI TARGETING BUT LAWYERS SENT BY DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN TEAMED UP TO WATER DOWN THE REPORT SO IT WEAKENED HUMAN REVIEW OF TARGETS AND ONLY COVERS WAR INSTEAD OF REPRESSION AND RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE ALREADY EXPERIMENTING WITH FULLY AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS TO DEAL WITH DRONE SIGNAL JAMMING WHICH MEANS THE AUTOMATED TARGETING IS ALREADY SPREADING WITHOUT PROPER HUMAN CONTROL.

OK PUT YOUR DRINK DOWN FOR THIS ONE BECAUSE EXPERIMENTS WITH FULLY AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS ARE ONLY GOING TO EXPAND IN EASTERN UKRAINE TO BEAT SIGNAL JAMMING AND LAWYERS SENT BY DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN JUST TEAMED UP IN GENEVA TO WATER DOWN A GLOBAL REPORT SO IT WEAKENED RULES REQUIRING ACTUAL HUMANS TO REVIEW AI-DEVELOPED TARGETS BEFORE STRIKES AND THE REASON WE ARE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ACCORDING TO KENNETH ROTH IS THAT THE ALGORITHMS ARE ALREADY OPERATIONAL IN GAZA WHERE THE ISRAELI MILITARY USED A SYSTEM CALLED LAVENDER TO MARK PHONE PATTERNS FOR DEATH AND A SYSTEM CALLED WHERE'S DADDY TO TRACK SUSPECTS TO THEIR HOUSES WHICH MEANT FAMILIES WERE FREQUENTLY KILLED AS WELL AND THE TALKS IN GENEVA DID NOT EVEN TOUCH USING THIS TECH FOR DOMESTIC REPRESSION.

Kenneth Roth warns that AI is already deciding lethal military targets in Gaza and Ukraine while international efforts to require human review are being weakened.
