AI, Distance, and the Cost of War | Perth News

A chilling new documentary, NAZA, exposes how Israeli intelligence officers used AI to target Gaza apartment buildings—admitting their technical roles indirectly caused thousands of deaths while claiming they were just cogs in a larger machine. Premiering at Venice, the film starkly contrasts Tel Aviv’s calm with Gaza’s devastation, revealing how screens create psychological distance from violence—even as officers hear babies cry before striking. Drawing on 24 anonymous sources, it explores motivations ranging from pride to detachment, using euphemisms to mask lethal outcomes. Despite military denials and personal risks faced by filmmakers—including threats after their Oscar-winning prior work—the film drew a standing ovation and is hailed as a devastating indictment of tech-enabled warfare and moral disengagement.
