Israel accused of using ‘automated apartheid’ in West Bank

Amnesty International and the EU Commission are holding talks in Brussels on Israel’s use of artificial intelligence to mass surveil Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

How far does that breach their privacy?

Does such technology really offer Israel security?
