An American foundation intends to deploy artificial intelligence to record and analyze classroom conversations in Gaza schools, identifying phrases flagged by monitoring systems as "inciteful," "antisemitic," or meeting other predetermined criteria, the Shehab Wire reported. The plan by Gaza Children's Village, a U.S.-based organization, would target teacher speech within classrooms.
Details of the surveillance program's scope, timeline, and intended enforcement mechanisms remain unclear from available reporting.
