Israeli outlet +972 reports the IDF’s Gospel AI system generates bombing targets in Gaza

Source: +972 MagazineAlso reported by NPR

On 30 November 2023 +972 Magazine and Local Call published an investigation by Yuval Abraham describing Habsora (‘the Gospel’), an AI system that it said produces targets for strikes in Gaza at high speed so that bombardment can continue at an enormous rate. The IDF had said in a 2 November post that the system lets it produce targets at a fast pace, and that it makes a recommendation to a human analyst; it did not respond directly to NPR’s questions.

Why it matters

The reports and the IDF’s own statement put AI-generated targeting in an ongoing war on the public record, four months before reporting on a second system, Lavender.
