AI军事化加剧暴力正当化,揭露其在加沙战争中的伦理与责任困境。
Genocide by Algorithm in Gaza: Artificial Intelligence, Countervailing Responsibility, and the Corruption of Public Discourse
- 将AI靶向系统视为知识基础设施,重构暴力合法性
- 揭示国家、技术者与个人在算法战争中的责任共谋
- 呼吁民主化AI伦理,关注被技术暴力影响的群体
人工智能的军事化加速重塑了战争的伦理、政治与治理格局。本文以以色列在加沙的行动为典型案例,探讨AI驱动的靶向系统如何作为认知基础设施,实现对暴力的分类、正当化与执行。文章从三个维度审视责任问题:(a) 政治责任——国家利用AI加速战争却规避问责;(b) 职业责任——技术人员、工程师与国防承包商参与数据武器化;(c) 个人责任——个体在算法治理中参与或抵抗的道德自主性。同时分析公共话语参与者的作用,其叙事常掩盖或合理化算法暴力。加沙案例表明,AI并非中立工具,而是殖民等级制度再生产与暴行常态化的推手。论文最终呼吁重新定义自动化战争时代的科技主体性与责任机制,主张通过民主化AI伦理来抵抗技术宿命论,聚焦高技术军事主义中最受影响者的生存现实。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The accelerating militarization of artificial intelligence has transformed the ethics, politics, and governance of warfare. This article interrogates how AI-driven targeting systems function as epistemic infrastructures that classify, legitimize, and execute violence, using Israel's conduct in Gaza as a paradigmatic case. Through the lens of responsibility, the article examines three interrelated dimensions: (a) political responsibility, exploring how states exploit AI to accelerate warfare while evading accountability; (b) professional responsibility, addressing the complicity of technologists, engineers, and defense contractors in the weaponization of data; and (c) personal responsibility, probing the moral agency of individuals who participate in or resist algorithmic governance. This is complemented by an examination of the position and influence of those participating in public discourse, whose narratives often obscure or normalize AI-enabled violence. The Gaza case reveals AI not as a neutral instrument but as an active participant in the reproduction of colonial hierarchies and the normalization of atrocity. Ultimately, the paper calls for a reframing of technological agency and accountability in the age of automated warfare. It concludes that confronting algorithmic violence demands a democratization of AI ethics, one that resists technocratic fatalism and centers the lived realities of those most affected by high-tech militarism.
