Surveillance in Gaza
Corsight AI provides facial recognition technology for Israeli military intelligence for dedicated use in Gaza as part of mass surveillance that includes the collection and cataloging of facial features of Palestinians without their knowledge and their permission.
According to the company, its technology is able to determine a person’s identity from a partial view of their face, or even fully covered.
The company provided its technology for a designated facial recognition experimental program run and operated by the military intelligence Unit 8200 of the Intelligence Corps to carry out mass surveillance. According to officers in the Israeli military, Corsight's software has been adapted to the unit's specific needs.
Since the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza in October 2023, the Israeli military expanded its use of facial recognition technologies in Gaza and began to rely more and more on Corsight’s technology. Israeli soldiers who entered the Gaza Strip used cameras equipped with Corsight's facial recognition technology to scan and collect photos of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, and similar cameras were also placed at Israeli checkpoints on the main evacuation routes throughout Gaza.
The soldiers used Corsight’s program to scan faces and document and detain people passing along major roads and through Israeli checkpoints throughout the Gaza Strip.
Corsight AI’s facial recognition technology is installed in airports and hospitals in Europe and is used by police bodies in South America.
