 ⭕️ Israel has leveraged a vast collection of intercepted Palestinian communications to develop an artificial intelligence tool similar to ChatGPT, which it aims to use to enhance its spying capabilities, as revealed by an investigation by the Guardian.

The investigation, conducted jointly with Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, uncovered that the Israeli military’s Unit 8200 trained the AI model to understand spoken Arabic by using large volumes of Palestinian phone conversations and text messages obtained through its extensive surveillance of the occupied territories.

“We tried to create the largest dataset possible [and] collect all the data the state of Israel has ever had in Arabic,” said former official Chaked Roger Joseph Sayedoff at a military AI conference in Tel Aviv last year, adding that the model required “psychotic amounts” of data.

In recent years, Unit 8200 has developed several AI-powered tools. Systems like The Gospel and Lavender were quickly integrated into operations during Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, playing a significant role in assisting its bombardment of the area by helping identify potential targets (both people and structures).
