The Israel Defense Forces used artificial intelligence to help locate Hamas leaders and hit them, but critics worry that implementation will justify AI use by enemy groups.

The IDF announced in February that the force has started utilizing AI in its operations, saying that new digital methods helped produce "200 new target assets" during a 10-day operation in 2021 to successfully target at least two Hamas commanders, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Interesting article.

Could the initial AI be manipulated to target certain groups or types of people with automony, eg anyone dressed like an afghani or an arab, anyone who looks chinese etc.

Exactly the reason to it being so dangerous. Algorithms don't recognise or separate in certain situations. Extremely dangerous.

AI cannot judge issues and humans independently. Humans can hardly get it right sometimes but AI definitely won't.

A philosophical question I was once asked, "Do you need to be intelligent in order to be evil, if so at what point could AI be considered intelligent enough to be considered evil?" Was asked this in a Masters course on Computer Science in the 1990s so has been a long considered point of discussion

Intelligence i don't believe plays a part. Not getting caught might. Who knows? If evil is rated on Intelligence than AI would be the most evil dangerous adversary we will meet. As it will have the knowledge of many and then some. Good saying in this. Intelligence doesn't have boundaries like common sense. AI lacks the ability to stop learning and trying to improve itself at our own hands. We lack the ability to use our Intelligence combined with common sense.
