What this article or any other I've read on this topic doesn't tell me is-- what is this Lavender tool doing exactly? Facial recognition? Or something else? Is it choosing targets in real time based on incoming tracking of... vehicles? mobile phones? video? satellite imagery?
The caveats that the system has a "known 10% error rate" is almost laughable. For one, I assume that was an artificial target rate set by the funders of the system, that's being met based on completely artificial benchmark data. But whatever data it's based on, the situation in Gaza currently is so chaotic that whatever inputs it's using to make its "suggestions" are surely suboptimal.
