Israel admits to revealing the identity of the artificial intelligence engineer and promises an investigation. British newspaper The Guardian was able to reveal how the controversial commander of the Israeli Intelligence Unit 8200, Yossi Sariel, revealed his identity after a security flaw on the Internet.

The Guardian has confirmed with multiple sources that Sriel is the secret author of The Human Machine Team. The book presents a radical vision of how artificial intelligence could change the relationship between military personnel and machines. Published in 2021 using a pseudonym consisting of his initials, Brigadier General Yassin, it provides a blueprint for the advanced AI-powered systems.
