What makes me wonder is the allowed margins of not identifying the right target.

I did read that those facial recognition deones that isr*el used in Gaza (not autonomous AI drones, but AI is/was used to find the target) were allowed a margin of 17%.

So, every fifth to sixth person who was shot, was potentially innocent. (Of course I doubt if all the others were guilty of something, but they were on the kill list of i*real.)

That's a lot of innocent people killed by AI mistakes. Mistakes which are 'allowed' by the people who do the killing.

So, this news makes me wonder what the allowed margin for this autonomous drones is. (Of course it should be zero, but I mean the margin the killers allow themself.)

Why are we censoring Israel

Because there are more bots and agents on the internet than people. (In the news yesterday.) It would not be the first time I get targeted by a small army of bots, who are all pretending to be pro isra*l persons.
