以色列用人工智能识别打击目标?联合国秘书长对此深感忧虑
联合国秘书长古特雷斯表示,他对以色列军方依靠人工智能来实施轰炸的行为深感不安,这将在人口稠密的居民区导致大量的平民伤亡。他强调,影响整个家庭生死存亡的决定不应该委托给冷冰冰的算法。以色列军队则在周五否认了这一说法,称其只有一个数据库,目的是为了交叉引用,以识别恐怖组织的军事人员情报。其还称,当袭击造成的预期附带伤亡过大时,以色列国防军就不会实施袭击。冷酷的“薰衣草”+972报告指出,以色列军队开发了一款名为“薰衣草(Lavender)”的人工智能程序,可以快速处理大量数据,以生成数千个潜在目标,方便进行军事打击。消息人士称,“薰衣草”对军方行动的影响非常之大,在加沙轰炸中发挥着核心作用,军方基本上将人工智能输出的结果视为由人类作出的决定。在战争最初的几周,军队几乎完全依赖于“薰衣草”。更令人心惊的是,“薰衣草”的打击目标授权程序如前文所述,最短不过20秒,人类似乎只需要确认打击目标是男性而已。而这一草率的决策程序让“薰衣草”的错误率高达10%,被轰炸目标极有可能与哈马斯联系很少甚至没有联系。不仅打击目标的错误率极高,轰炸的附带伤害也因此变得十分恐怖。消息人士证实,在空袭初期,数千名巴勒斯坦人(其中大多数为妇女、儿童或是无辜的青年)因轰炸而亡。这一切都是因为轰炸决定是通过人工智能的计算而成。另两名消息人士则指出,以色列军方还做出了前所未有的决定,在加沙轰炸前期,“薰衣草”标记的每名“恐怖分子”都有15-20个平民死亡的配额,而过去,军方在攻击恐怖分子时不允许有任何平民伤亡出现。消息人士还补充称,如果攻击目标是营级或者旅级指挥官级别的“恐怖分子”,以色列军方授权最大平民死亡人数可达100人。目前,这份报告并没有被以色列军方所承认,但不少观察人士已经感到不妙。非政府组织——国际危机组织的高级分析师Alessandro Accorsi表示,+972的报告非常令人担忧,其表示人类控制战争的程度非常之低,感觉像是世界末日。人权律师、联合国巴勒斯坦难民机构近东救济工程处加沙法律办公室前主任John Sophie则指出,+972报告描述的方法无可否认是犯了战争罪,且鉴于加沙平民伤亡之巨,如若属实,其甚至够得上是反人类罪。 ...
