Der Mythos der gezielten Tötung - Zur Verantwortung von KI-gestützten Zielsystemen am Beispiel Lavender

Explore a critical 47-minute conference talk from the 38th Chaos Communication Congress examining AI-supported targeting systems in military technology, with a specific focus on the IDF's Lavender AI targeting system used in the Gaza conflict. Delve into the decades-long theoretical discourse surrounding AI in military technology and human-machine relationships across philosophy, social sciences, and critical algorithm studies. Analyze the practical implementation of AI-weapon systems in armed conflicts, drawing parallels with historical US "Signature Strikes" in Waziristan and Afghanistan. Examine technical design decisions, responsibility displacement, and legal circumvention issues through expert analysis from Forums InformatikerInnen für Frieden und Gesellschaftliche Verantwortung (FIfF e.V.), Informationsstelle Militarisierung (IMI e.V.), and Arbeitskreis gegen bewaffnete Drohnen e.V., who seek to condemn AI-based "targeted killing" practices as war crimes.
