During Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration, a dramatic protest by employee Ibtihal Aboussad disrupted AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman's speech, accusing the company of being complicit in Israeli military actions. The protester, a software engineer, condemned Microsoft for its role in using AI technology in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, shouting “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide.” The incident has sparked global outrage, reigniting concerns over the ethical use of AI in warfare. Aboussad’s bold actions have highlighted Microsoft’s deep ties with Israel's defense sector, raising serious questions about the tech giant's involvement in military conflicts. The protest comes amid ongoing global debates over AI’s role in modern warfare, and Aboussad’s personal stand has amplified these ethical dilemmas. Microsoft’s response to the protest, including account restrictions for the activists, further fuels the growing unrest among employees and the public. https://48skid.blogspot.com/2025/04/microsoft-ai-ceo-shamed-pro-palestinian.html
