Palantir’s “AI” is crap and it’s clear it has tons of false positives. But even if it was 100% accurate it wouldn’t prevent the civilian deaths if the military getting the report carpet bombs everything around the identified terrorists without caring if there are civilians around - and when the Israeli spokesperson has a very precise estimate of how many Hamas members they killed but not even a ballpark number of estimated civilian deaths it’s clear that’s what’s happening here.
The US is to spend $480 million on a Palantir AI tool to identify terrorists in the Middle East, which so far has been used in a military conflict where 80% of the dead are civilians. (defensescoop.com)
