History will remeber that Microsoft has comitted the bloodiest and most evil use of AI ever to this date.
Imagine going to court for some case and finding out your judge was an AI software. Now imagine that it would also execute you and your whole family just because they were in the same house with you without jury or human input.
Plantir and Microsoft technology were used to choose targets (with freaking AI) to guide the missiles and directly bomb and kill thousands of innocent civilians.

Israel was going for a death toll, they said it explicitly themselves.
AI "errors" had nothing to do with the outcome in Gaza. The IDF would have used another sloppier metric for targeting, they flat out don't care as long as they still get money and US troops defending them.
