This graphical essay explores the parallels between the mythical Golem of Prague and modern artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on the ethical challenges posed by AI's integration into warfare. Using the recent conflict in Gaza as a case study, it examines how AI-powered systems like autonomous drones and surveillance technologies are reshaping military strategies while raising profound questions about accountability, justice, and the protection of civilians. Drawing on Jewish ethical principles such as Tzedek (justice) and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), the essay critiques the gap between technological advancements and moral responsibility. Written through a dialogical process with AI components and accompanied by AI-generated illustrations, this piece invites readers to reflect on how humanity can harness technology for peace and the common good while avoiding its dehumanizing potential.
