Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

And I wonder how many of those 95% have already used misapplied AI facial recognition to justify FISA court warrants for stalking investigating random people suspected terrorists?
