Palantir co-founder Alex Karp has called Palantir’s systems “crucial” to Israeli military operations. ”We covered the Lavender AI technology here: Lavender: the First AI Genocide Device – Bella Caledonia. I wrote about Lavender last year:Lavender was developed by the Israel Defense Forces’ elite intelligence division, Unit 8200. It saved a lot of time.”Just as Palestinians are dehumanised by the rhetoric around the conflict, the technology furthers this dehumanisation. People become ‘targets’ and the technology is seen as simply a mechanism for efficiency and time-saving in the process of killing.
