Eleos Health is an Israeli startup which uses an Artificial Intelligence device to automate clinical documentation during behavioral counseling sessions. At least 35% of Eleos Health staff—including their top leadership—are part of the Israeli military (as compared to 4% of the general Israeli public) • Alon Joffe, CEO—commanding officer in Unit 669 of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) • Dror Zaide, COO—former IDF drone pilot • Alon Rabinovich, CTO—veteran of the IDF Matzov Unit (specializes in military information security) This summer, HCRS began forcing clinicians to implement AI note-taking software from Eleos Health, without getting informed consent from clients. This partnership • Jeopardizes HCRS client privacy • Compromises clinician integrity • Proliferates surveillance tech used to support genocide​ The Israeli tech industry comprises more than half of Israel’s total exports. Israeli surveillance technology is also instrumental in enacting surveillance and bomb strikes in Palestine. Partnerships like this one (between HCRS and Eleos) fuel the Israeli economy & normalize technologies that make genocide possible. Technology like this (artificial intelligence) inherently perpetuates harmful biases and sends us further down a road toward climate catastrophe. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-surveillance-in-health-care
