TOP News Brief
Israel is developing artificial intelligence chatbots programmed to manage online discussion of the Gaza conflict, the Quincy Institute reported. The chatbots are designed to generate talking points and respond to criticism of Israeli military operations across digital platforms, part of a broader effort to counter narratives unfavorable to Israel's conduct in the territory.
The initiative represents an escalation in digital information campaigns surrounding the conflict. The system would allow automated responses to emerge across social media and other online spaces where public debate over Gaza takes place. No details were provided about the program's funding, scope, or timeline for deployment.
