    “Where’s Daddy?” was an offshoot of “Lavender”, an AI program that, using Israel’s knowledge of the names and addresses of everyone in Gaza, and detailed surveillance of mobile phone (cellphone) use, built up profiles ranking every individual on their suspected involvement in, or affiliation with militant groups, generating “kill lists” for those with a high score, which were then, with almost no human oversight whatsoever, translated into targeted missile or bomb attacks on these locations, with little or no concern for the extent of civilian “collateral damage” involved.

    That doesn’t seem… great.
