Goes to prove that LinkedIn is just exactly like every other social media platform despite what many people seem to believe.
Also, Microsoft owns LinkedIn so that might have something to do with it.
Makes sense its owned by MS
Probably the mass reporting coupled with the usual rape and death threats from the deranged zionists.
Wow.
GOOD FOR THEM. I AM SO PROUD OF THEM
Ballsy move. I hope she's okay.
What a hero! I hope she is alright.
This is such a bold move. Takes courage to speak up from the inside, especially at an event like that. Whether people agree or not, the conversation about the ethics of AI and its real-world consequences needs to happen.
Can anyone ELI5 how they're using AI for genocide? I have awful IT skills so I don't understand AI
In long.
In short:
The AI system labeled tens of thousands of Gazans, mostly men, as suspected militants, with a 10% error rate, meaning thousands were likely civilians.
Human officers spent ~20 seconds per target, often just confirming gender, before approving airstrikes.
"Where’s Daddy?": A companion AI tracked targets to their homes, prioritizing bombings at night when families were present.
The military authorized 15–20 civilian deaths per low-ranking militant and 100+ for senior Hamas officials
Strikes frequently used unguided munitions, maximizing destruction and civilian harm
Officers admitted acting as "stamps" for AI decisions, with one calling the process "hunting at large"

From the article:
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to compile information gathered through mass surveillance, which it transcribes and translates, including phone calls, texts and audio messages, according to an Israeli intelligence officer who works with the systems.
From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.
Stop believing in the veneer of smartness and superiority around these genocidal fuckers.
There is no NON ELI5 explanation here of how they're using AI for genocide, because the truth is horrible, stupid and brutal.
They are using AI because it is the best tool bullshitters have currently to offload blame for things they, individual human beings, chose to do onto obscure abstract entities like corporations, AI decisions and other bullshit.
There is nothing more to it than that, I promise you, it is all just layers of bullshit that is attempting to obscure culpability for participating in a genocide, and honestly it is the perfect technology for that.
AI is being pushed into war machines big time. America and China are both working on it. With ukraine showing how incredibly effective drones are in warfare, just imagine the damage and destruction a swarm of drones controlled by an AI could cause.
Its scary and awful
But critics warn the [AI] system is unproven at best — and at worst, providing a technological justification for the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
This 2023 article didn’t age well.
The critics were right
Fucking hell that's bad
There are also many higher education professors doing smart drones. I was in one conference and they were showing off drones flying by themselves and showed the difference between different weather and everything.
She is SO BRAVE. Wow. I wish I had half that strength.
