The program identifies potential targets by analyzing surveillance footage, social media posts and intelligence from Palestinian prisoners. Corsight technology, known for its ability to detect people with less than 50 percent facial visibility, forms the basis of the surveillance system.
However, soldiers note that there are inaccuracies, especially in grainy images or unclear faces. Cases of mistaken identity, such as that of Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toh, highlight the potential dangers of relying solely on facial recognition technology.
In addition to Google Photos, the Israeli military is expanding its surveillance capabilities by using “known person” databases to better identify individuals. Corsight management, backed by investors such as Awz Ventures, has signaled its determination to assist the Israeli army.
