Rights groups call for a halt of AI tech use in the military Rights groups and tech activists have warned against the increasing use of AI in the military, specifically citing Israel's genocide in Gaza as a dangerous precedent. In a joint statement signed by more than a hundred people and organisations including Amnesty International, Access Now and the Stop Killer Robots Campaign, they warned that the expansion of AI in military "kill chains" risked greater civilian bloodshed and a lack of accountability. They specifically pointed to Israel's genocide in Gaza, where the mass killing of more than 73,000 Palestinians has accompanied the widespread use of AI-based systems by the Israeli army.
