Abstract

The current research sought to identify the role of artificial intelligence as an actor in the Palestinian issue after the events of October 7, 2023. The research relied on the descriptive method to study the effectiveness and impact of artificial intelligence in the Palestinian issue. The research attempted to determine the reactions of artificial intelligence applications and tools, based on the electronic interview tool with Chat GPT 4, Gemini and Copilot.
The results of the research revealed the role of artificial intelligence as a military actor through the Israeli army’s use of artificial intelligence-based systems to determine the targets of its air strikes on Gaza and determine its defense priorities, in addition to the use of artificial intelligence techniques to monitor, track and trace the Palestinians, which often results in human rights violations such as recognition techniques. Faces used in military barriers. The role of artificial intelligence as an international actor has also become clear, as Israel's use of artificial intelligence-enhanced weapons has raised ethical questions about the technology's ability to facilitate violence and human rights violations.
The results of the research demonstrated the role of artificial intelligence as a social actor (a supportive actor in solidarity with the Palestinian cause - a mobilizing actor that polarizes public opinion) through the use of deep fake technology and the spread of fake materials on social networking sites.
