Israel has since its formation subjected Palestinians to invasive surveillance. Technological advancements, mass data collection, and artificial intelligence have only strengthened this repressive power. Explore how facial recognition systems, spyware, and Israel’s data regime operate – and why holding on to hope still matters – in a piece based on a conversation between Maja and Shir Hever, coordinator of the military embargo campaign within the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.

13. March 2025

After successfully supporting two rounds of participatory budgeting, we continued our collaboration with the Municipality of Medvode for a third cycle, using the open-source platform Consul. For projects in 2025 and 2026, the municipality will allocate up to 400,000 euros. Once again, residents aged 15 and above will be able to submit their ideas and vote on them. This continues the practice of actively involving the local community in shaping a municipality that reflects their needs.

This way, we strengthen the role of citizens in deciding on their shared future and promote the development of projects grounded in the needs and ideas of the community.

The AI Act still contains serious loopholes that open the door to abuse – particularly in the areas of biometric surveillance and migration. Together with the AI Act civil society coalition and the #ProtectNotSurveil coalition, we call on the European AI Board to ensure that the implementation of the legislation is based on the protection of the rights of all people with its upcoming guidelines!

Using the open-source platform Consul, which enables easy online submission, tracking, and voting on proposals, we supported the Municipality of Celje in implementing participatory budgeting. Citizens were invited to help decide how 250,000 euros from the municipal budget will be spent across eight local areas. Each area will receive 30,000 euros, with an additional 10,000 euros dedicated to youth-led projects by residents aged 15 to 29.

The rapid development of generative AI is making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction. Digital spaces are full of synthetic content that, at best, seeks to capture our attention and, at worst, aims to deceive us. That’s why we developed Razkrinkaj.ai (or Recognise.ai), a tool designed to test your ability to recognise AI-generated content and educate you on the risks of its misuse.

Register rabe UI v slovenskem javnem sektorju

24. October 2024

The development and use of artificial intelligence come with significant risks, so it’s crucial to handle it responsibly and transparently, especially when making decisions that affect people's lives. To address this, we developed the Public Sector AI Registry, the first organised database documenting the use of artificial intelligence systems in the Slovenian public sector. We compiled the data through a combination of research into publicly available sources and requests for public information, and we’re committed to updating the registry regularly.

For our continuous independent work we need your support!!

Palestinsko mesto pod nadzorom kamer. Ustvarjeno z generativno UI Adobe Firefly.

3. September 2024

The use of AI has played an important role in the surveillance, oppression and killings of Palestinians by Israel for many years, and has recently intensified. But the sole aim of the Israeli military-industrial complex is not to kill indiscriminately, but to use the occupied Palestinian territory as a testing ground for weapons and surveillance technologies that are later sold on the global market. We explore what this means for Palestinian fundamental rights and freedoms, the broader struggle against militarisation and the surveillance society. As A. Loewenstein pointed out: "What starts in Palestine never stays there."
