Military strategists war-game potential conflicts. For example, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact nations were eyeball-toeyeball in Europe for 45 years during the Cold War. Both sides stayed braced for scenarios of sudden conflict and continually tweaked their opposed plans.
In 2021, an Israeli intelligence officer using the penname "Brigadier Y.S." wrote a book The Human-Machine Team. This suggested farming out the nitty-gritty of future military plans to machines. Artificial intelligence (AI) would process data, identify targets, and figure out times and pathways to strike targets.
"Brigadier Y.S." is, in fact, in charge of the unit that planned the Gaza assault and multiple news reports indicate Israel has used AI to plan their campaign.
Since the Lebanon invasion in 1982 and the Intifada, the Israelis have been well aware of the challenges of fighting asymmetric wars against urban guerrillas.
Conventional forces can easily get bogged down and suffer losses. It is hard to find the enemy. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) felt AI would help overcome some of those issues.
