Artificial Intelligence as a Tool of War … AI Tracks to Target and Bomb … Since launching war on Gaza last October, Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians and injured over 77,000. Bombing, shelling, missiles, drones have destroyed large sections throughout the narrow enclave and displaced millions who are now facing famine and starvation. […]
The News from Gaza continues to evidence devastation and death. The humanitarian crisis grows as food, water, supplies dwindle and safe-zone areas turn into killing zones… the consequences for Israel and the Palestinians are grave and extend far beyond the carnage the world is now graphically witnessing

But is ‘victory’ attainable?
Acknowledging the seemingly insoluble problem of the Middle East wars, now in a Gaza-Israel incarnation, few believe there are solutions to interminable conflict. The history is one of ‘begats’. After all, it’s ‘Biblical’, right?
What can one say when a religious zealot in a government controlling nuclear weapons declares that a nuke could be dropped on a population of approximately two million in a nearby city?
