Licence to abuse? The problem with Israel’s signing of global treaty on AI

Description

he treaty is “a fairly loose statement of principles, although it might be legally binding,” Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King's College London, tells TRT World.

“Quite a lot of variation” is to be expected with regard to how different states could interpret and apply these internationally agreed principles into applicable laws, he notes.
“The liberal principles of Israeli law usually apply primarily or exclusively to Israeli citizens and not to Palestinians,” Krieg says.

Israel will likely continue using AI in the name of national security, Krieg maintains. “So none of these principles to do with transparency or respect for human rights will be applied to occupation.”
