The trucks were escorted by three vehicles carrying aid workers from the World Central Kitchen, the relief organization that had arranged the massive food shipment.
From what we have recently learned the IDF is using dragnet surveillance and AI to choose targets. It’s purpose is purportedly rank every individual in Gaza a score 0 to 100. The higher your number, the more likely you are to get striked. The Intel released thus far indicates that the system gives you a higher score, the more Hamas members you associate with. I’m pretty sure the AI noticed the aid workers distributing aid and thus interacting with a large amount of Hamas -affiliated individuals and thus gained a rapid high score. And this is why AI should not make decisions.
Note, I am not stating that all the people the aid workers interact with are active Hamas militants just people that are related to or neighbors to which is close enough for most AI systems.

Wow that’s really interesting—is there somewhere we can learn more about this?
