Ex-Israeli spies involved in Gaza genocide building AI systems for global tech companies
Israel’s Unit 8200, a highly classified cyber warfare division, is reportedly involved in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that have been implicated in operations in the Gaza Strip. According to a recent report, Unit 8200 is collaborating with international technology and AI firms in creating these advanced AI systems.
According to a report by the ¡Do Not Panic! website on Friday, former members of Israel’s elite intelligence Unit 8200, known for their expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data, have secured positions at major tech giants including Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia. Nvidia, in particular, is highlighted as a leading AI company striving to become the largest globally in its sector.
Former operatives of Israel’s Unit 8200, with expertise in artificial intelligence, are strategically located across the globe. Their presence spans major cities such as San Francisco, New York, Madrid, Geneva, and London, reaching as far as Jerusalem, also known as al-Quds.
The report indicates that former leaders from Unit 8200 have transitioned to roles within AI start-ups and are being celebrated by corporate media as the vanguard of the next generation in artificial intelligence.
The report indicated that a significant number of individuals within the AI community have shown support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which some have labeled as genocidal. Furthermore, it was highlighted that none of these individuals have publicly criticized what has been described as Israel’s mass killings in the region.
Advocacy organizations have asserted that artificial intelligence and machine learning are integral to the structural framework of occupation and apartheid that existed prior to the recent military actions in Gaza. This includes the deployment of facial recognition technology, AI-guided weaponry at checkpoints, and surveillance applications identified as ‘Blue Wolf’ and ‘Red Wolf’.
A report published in November last year suggests that Israel has been utilizing an artificial intelligence-driven firing system, co-developed with an Indian defense manufacturer, amid its military operations in Gaza.
According to documents and recent reports, the Middle East Eye (MEE) news portal disclosed on November 20 that Israeli occupation forces have deployed the Arbel system since the onset of the regime’s intense military campaign in Gaza.
In October 2022, at a defense exhibition in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, the collaborative venture named Arbel was launched. This partnership is between Israel’s leading arms manufacturer, Israeli Weapons Industries (IWI), and India’s Adani Defense & Aerospace.
At that time, multiple Indian media outlets reported on the development, describing it as “India’s inaugural AI-driven firing system.”
In April 2024, Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) unveiled the Aber, a cutting-edge “computerized small arms system” engineered to enhance combat effectiveness.
In recent years, India, recognized as the largest market for Israeli arms, has significantly expanded its role to become a key co-producer of Israeli weaponry.
On October 7, 2023, Israel launched a significant military operation in Gaza following a historic offensive by Hamas. This escalation was in response to what Hamas described as intensified acts of aggression by Israel against the Palestinian population.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the administration in Tel Aviv has been responsible for the deaths of at least 46,788 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, and injuries to 110,453 individuals.
