Israeli Spy Agencies Develop ‘Chat GPT-like’ AI Tool To Target Palestinians: Report

The AI tool uses massive amounts of data and can identify what ‘every person in the West Bank is doing’

Israel has compiled an extensive collection of intercepted Palestinian communications to develop an artificial intelligence tool similar to ChatGPT, which it aims to use to enhance its espionage capabilities, according to an investigation by the Guardian released on 6 March.

The investigation, conducted jointly with Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew outlet Local Call, uncovered that the Israeli army’s Unit 8200 programmed the AI tool to understand colloquial Arabic by using large amounts of Palestinian phone calls and text messages obtained through its surveillance.

Unit 8200 “began building the model to create a sophisticated chatbot-like tool capable of answering questions about people it is monitoring and providing insights into the massive volumes of surveillance data it collects,” the investigation revealed.

The development of the system was accelerated after the start of Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza.

An informed source told the Guardian that “AI amplifies power,” adding: “It’s not just about preventing shooting attacks, I can track human rights activists, monitor Palestinian construction in Area C [of the West Bank]. I have more tools to know what every person in the West Bank is doing.”

“Under the AI system, known as “The Gospel,” any home or neighborhood containing even a low level Hamas activist becomes a target, and the civilian death toll is known in advance: “Nothing happens by accident,” said one source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed … These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”
