Parliament speaker decries AI-assisted genocide in Gaza

Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş delivered an address at the 149th General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Geneva on Monday, expressing deep concern over what he termed an «artificial intelligence-assisted genocide» in Gaza.

«We are dismayed by the ongoing artificial intelligence-assisted genocide in Gaza,» Kurtulmuş stated.

He further elaborated on the misuse of technology, saying, «We are appalled by reports revealing how technology is being intentionally misused by Israel to conduct indiscriminate attacks on civilians.»

The speaker condemned what he called «techno-brutality,» asserting that it «reduces the lives of Palestinians to sole data points» and explains «the atrocities of catastrophic proportions and the scale of mass destruction,» by Israeli forces.

Referencing recent events in Lebanon, Kurtulmuş mentioned «booby-trapped pagers being detonated by cyber interference, targeting many civilians.» He stressed the moral and legal obligation to condemn such technological applications.

Kurtulmuş called for stricter controls on high technology, similar to those governing nuclear weapons.
