Artificial intelligence has brought a new way of war to the Middle East – but makes crimes harder to hide

The US and Israel have used artificial intelligence (AI) systems to rapidly attack targets in Iran, increasing the speed and scale of their operations.
AI systems, like Palantir’s Maven, have been crucial in planning and executing air attacks, allowing for swift response and multi-scenario evaluation.
AI targeting has been employed in Gaza as well, with allegations of prioritizing certain militant targets while accepting high civilian casualties.
AI’s use in the “kill-chain” has raised concerns about potential crimes against humanity, particularly regarding the high number of civilian casualties.
Despite the extensive use of AI in military operations, human officers are ultimately responsible for ordering attacks, leaving a digital paper trail for potential audits and accountability.
The reliance on AI in military operations raises the challenge of maintaining moral and legal accountability for the consequences of these actions.
