This New York Times feature cites sources describing how the Israeli military has integrated facial recognition technology, drone targeting, and chatbots monitoring texts into its war in Gaza. It describes the process of locating Hamas leader Ibrahim Biari, who helped plan the October 7th massacres: > Shortly thereafter, Israel listened to Mr. Biari’s calls and tested the A.I. audio tool, which gave an approximate location for where he was making his calls. Using that information, Israel ordered airstrikes to target the area on Oct. 31, 2023, killing Mr. Biari. More than 125 civilians also died in the attack, according to Airwars, a London-based conflict monitor.
