[70175] The Technological Revolution: From Intelligence Pursuit of Terrorists to Student Outrage Over Artificial Intelligence

The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Security and Civilian Purposes

According to a report by News from the Field on Telegram, which is identified with security positions emphasizing Israel's technological superiority, the IDF and the defense establishment are conducting an "AI-based pursuit" of all those involved in the October 7th massacre. According to the investigation published in the "Wall Street Journal", artificial intelligence systems are being used to cross-reference information from security cameras, social networks, and GoPro footage of terrorists in order to identify them based on "unique characteristics (such as clothing items, tattoos, and body structure)". The system is integrated with data from interrogations of about 300 terrorists captured alive, according to News from the Field.

At the same time, in the civilian-technological arena, tension is felt regarding the influence of artificial intelligence on the professional future of young people. According to the Technology and High-Tech News ⚙️ channel, university graduates around the world are demonstrating "growing anger toward tech company executives" who praise AI technology at graduation ceremonies.

According to this report, events in which high-tech executives like Eric Schmidt encountered scorn from students reflect a "growing gap between eager AI supporters and the younger generation entering the job market with apprehension". While the security establishment views AI as an essential tool for eliminating terrorism, the young public views it as a potential threat to their economic stability.
