But Israeli intelligence could not find Mr. Biari, who they believed was hidden in the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2023\/11\/10\/world\/europe\/hamas-gaza-tunnels.html\" title=\"\">network of tunnels<\/a> underneath Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So Israeli officers turned to a new military technology infused with artificial intelligence, three Israeli and American officials briefed on the events said. The technology was developed a decade earlier but had not been used in battle. Finding Mr. Biari provided new incentive to improve the tool, so engineers in Israel\u2019s Unit 8200, the country\u2019s equivalent of the National Security Agency, soon integrated <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/spotlight\/artificial-intelligence\" title=\"\">A.I.<\/a> into it, the people said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shortly thereafter, Israel listened to Mr. Biari\u2019s calls and tested the A.I. audio tool, which gave an approximate location for where he was making his calls. Using that information, Israel ordered airstrikes to target the area on Oct. 31, 2023, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/31\/world\/middleeast\/israel-airstrike-gaza-jabaliya.html\" title=\"\">killing Mr. Biari<\/a>. More than 125 civilians also died in the attack, according to Airwars, a London-based conflict monitor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The audio tool was just one example of how Israel has used the war in Gaza to rapidly test and deploy A.I.-backed military technologies to a degree that had not been seen before, according to interviews with nine American and Israeli defense officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the work is confidential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the past 18 months, Israel has also combined A.I. with facial recognition software to match partly obscured or injured faces to real identities, turned to A.I. to compile potential airstrike targets, and created an Arabic-language A.I. model to power a chatbot that could scan and analyze text messages, social media posts and other Arabic-language data, two people with knowledge of the programs said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many of these efforts were a partnership between enlisted soldiers in Unit 8200 and reserve soldiers who work at tech companies such as Google, Microsoft and Meta, three people with knowledge of the technologies said. Unit 8200 set up what became known as \u201cThe Studio,\u201d an innovation hub and place to match experts with A.I. projects, the people said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yet even as Israel raced to develop the A.I. arsenal, deployment of the technologies sometimes led to mistaken identifications and arrests, as well as civilian deaths, the Israeli and American officials said. Some officials have struggled with the ethical implications of the A.I. tools, which could result in increased surveillance and other civilian killings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No other nation has been as active as Israel in experimenting with A.I. tools in real-time battles, European and American defense officials said, giving a preview of how such technologies may be used in future wars \u2014 and how they might also go awry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe urgent need to cope with the crisis accelerated innovation, much of it A.I.-powered,\u201d said Hadas Lorber, the head of the Institute for Applied Research in Responsible A.I. at Israel\u2019s Holon Institute of Technology and a former senior director at the Israeli National Security Council. \u201cIt led to game-changing technologies on the battlefield and advantages that proved critical in combat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the technologies \u201calso raise serious ethical questions,\u201d Ms. Lorber said. She warned that A.I. needs checks and balances, adding that humans should make the final decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokeswoman for Israel\u2019s military said she could not comment on specific technologies because of their \u201cconfidential nature.\u201d Israel \u201cis committed to the lawful and responsible use of data technology tools,\u201d she said, adding that the military was investigating the strike on Mr. Biari and was \u201cunable to provide any further information until the investigation is complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Meta and Microsoft declined to comment. Google said it has \u201cemployees who do reserve duty in various countries around the world. The work those employees do as reservists is not connected to Google.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel previously used conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon to experiment with and advance tech tools for its military, such as drones, phone hacking tools and the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/14\/world\/europe\/israel-iron-dome-defense.html\" title=\"\">Iron Dome<\/a> defense system, which can help intercept short-range ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After Hamas launched cross-border attacks into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages, A.I. technologies were quickly cleared for deployment, four Israeli officials said. That led to the cooperation between Unit 8200 and reserve soldiers in \u201cThe Studio\u201d to swiftly develop new A.I. capabilities, they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Avi Hasson, the chief executive of Startup Nation Central, an Israeli nonprofit that connects investors with companies, said reservists from Meta, Google and Microsoft had become crucial in driving innovation in drones and data integration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cReservists brought know-how and access to key technologies that weren\u2019t available in the military,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s military soon used A.I. to enhance its <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/03\/03\/world\/europe\/ukraine-russia-war-drones-deaths.html\" title=\"\">drone fleet<\/a>. Aviv Shapira, founder and chief executive of XTEND, a software and drone company that works with the Israeli military, said A.I.-powered algorithms were used to build drones to lock on and track targets from a distance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn the past, homing capabilities relied on zeroing in on to an image of the target,\u201d he said. \u201cNow A.I. can recognize and track the object itself \u2014 may it be a moving car, or a person \u2014 with deadly precision.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Shapira said his main clients, the Israeli military and the U.S. Department of Defense, were aware of A.I.\u2019s ethical implications in warfare and discussed responsible use of the technology. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One tool developed by \u201cThe Studio\u201d was an Arabic-language A.I. model known as a large language model, three Israeli officers familiar with the program said. (The large language model was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.972mag.com\/israeli-intelligence-chatgpt-8200-surveillance-ai\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">earlier reported<\/a> by Plus 972, an Israeli-Palestinian news site.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Developers previously struggled to create such a model because of a dearth of Arabic-language data to train the technology. When such data was available, it was mostly in standard written Arabic, which is more formal than the dozens of dialects used in spoken Arabic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Israeli military did not have that problem, the three officers said. The country had decades of intercepted text messages, transcribed phone calls and posts scraped from social media in spoken Arabic dialects. So Israeli officers created the large language model in the first few months of the war and built a chatbot to run queries in Arabic. They merged the tool with multimedia databases, allowing analysts to run complex searches across images and videos, four Israeli officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When Israel assassinated the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in September, the chatbot analyzed the responses across the Arabic-speaking world, three Israeli officers said. The technology differentiated among different dialects in Lebanon to gauge public reaction, helping Israel to assess if there was public pressure for a counterstrike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At times, the chatbot could not identify some modern slang terms and words that were transliterated from English to Arabic, two officers said. That required Israeli intelligence officers with expertise in different dialects to review and correct its work, one of the officers said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The chatbot also sometimes provided wrong answers \u2014 for instance, returning photos of pipes instead of guns \u2014 two Israeli intelligence officers said. Even so, the A.I. tool significantly accelerated research and analysis, they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At temporary checkpoints set up between the northern and southern Gaza Strip, Israel also began equipping cameras after the Oct. 7 attacks with the ability to scan and send high-resolution images of Palestinians to an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/27\/technology\/israel-facial-recognition-gaza.html\" title=\"\">A.I.-backed facial recognition program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This system, too, sometimes had trouble identifying people whose faces were obscured. That led to arrests and interrogations of Palestinians who were mistakenly flagged by the facial recognition system, two Israeli intelligence officers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel also used A.I. to sift through data amassed by intelligence officials on Hamas members. Before the war, Israel built a machine-learning algorithm \u2014 code-named \u201cLavender\u201d \u2014 that could quickly sort data to hunt for low-level militants. It was trained on a database of confirmed Hamas members and meant to predict who else might be part of the group. Though the system\u2019s predictions were imperfect, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/26\/world\/middleeast\/israel-hamas-gaza-bombing.html\" title=\"\">Israel used it<\/a> at the start of the war in Gaza to help choose attack targets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Few goals loomed larger than finding and eliminating Hamas\u2019s senior leadership. Near the top of the list was Mr. Biari, the Hamas commander who Israeli officials believed played a central role in planning the Oct. 7 attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s military intelligence quickly intercepted Mr. Biari\u2019s calls with other Hamas members but could not pinpoint his location. So they turned to the A.I.-backed audio tool, which analyzed different sounds, such as sonic bombs and airstrikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After deducing an approximate location for where Mr. Biari was placing his calls, Israeli military officials were warned that the area, which included several apartment complexes, was densely populated, two intelligence officers said. An airstrike would need to target several buildings to ensure Mr. Biari was assassinated, they said. The operation was greenlit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since then, Israeli intelligence has also used the audio tool alongside maps and photos of Gaza\u2019s underground tunnel maze to locate hostages. Over time, the tool was refined to more precisely find individuals, two Israeli officers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/25\/technology\/israel-gaza-ai.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In late 2023, Israel was aiming to assassinate Ibrahim Biari, a top Hamas commander in the northern Gaza Strip who<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20868,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[6288,213,123,576,1968,287,89,94,6289,99,118],"class_list":["post-20867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-arabic-language","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-computers-and-the-internet","tag-defense-and-military-forces","tag-drones-pilotless-planes","tag-facial-recognition-software","tag-gaza-strip","tag-hamas","tag-intelligence-and-intelligence-tests-iq","tag-israel","tag-social-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How the War in Gaza Drove Israel\u2019s A.I.
