   What a painful article to read my god.

   "Shults & Lane...were on the ground as part of a contract they signed with the UN in August to develop a first-of-its-kind AI model that they hope will help analyze solutions to the Israel-Palestinian conflict."

   "The digital twin Lane is speaking of is CulturePulse’s multi-agent AI model that they are currently building for the UN."

   The UN needs a spine not a "multi-agent AI model."

     "The model will ultimately create a virtual version of each and every one of the 15 million people who live in Israel and the Palestinian territories, each imbued with demographics, religious beliefs, & moral values..."

     Not dystopian at all.

     "The reason the UN is turning to AI in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to Lane, is that it simply has nowhere else to turn."

     Don't even know what to say to that last one.

     "“Basically you have a laboratory, an artificial laboratory, that you can play with on your PC in ways that you could never do ethically, certainly, in the real world.”"

     I don't even know what to say. Tech solutionism at its finest because people can't NOT be racist.
