Is Amazon/Google powering Israel’s Lavender AI system to target and murder Palestinians in Gaza?

According to the Nation, Amazon set up 3 data server centers to advance the tech industry and IDF AI programs

The IDF is the primary beneficiary of a $1.2 billion contract between Israel, Amazon and Google

Increasing Israel’s competence in AI

+972 mag reported that the IDF used at least 3 AI systems in conjunction with one another to target and kill Palestinians in Gaza :

Lavender
“Where’s daddy?”
The Gospel

These AI programs were trained on all sorts of data such as names, phone no.’s, addresses, biometrics, image and video, gps coordinates, social media profiles, facial features etc.

This is how they generated a massive Kill List

Processing this amount of data, within seconds, for an IDF soldiers to green light requires an enormous amount of power and machinery

Does Israel manage their own GPU server farms?

Or does Amazon/Google provide Israel with the machinery?

The Intercept reported that Google was selling “advanced AI tools to Israel

They were “worried about Israeli human rights abuses” but sold it to them anyway

In this image, you can see an example of Google image recognition technology

Is this how the IDF identifies a target in Gaza?

And here you can see how Google AI can identify facial features and traits

These exact facial recognition features were used by Lavender to rate Palestinians and add them to the kill list

What do you think?

Is there a connection between the IDF AI KILL LIST and Google / Amazon?

Comment if you have more information
