“Shame on you.”

A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.

“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”

Sources at Microsoft tell The Verge that shortly after Aboussad was ushered out of Microsoft’s event, she sent an email to a number of email distribution lists that contain hundreds or thousands of Microsoft employees. Here is Aboussad’s email in full:

    Which particular set of Israeli policies are you supporting here?

    The 10-15 civilian deaths per strike on a possible low level Hamas supporter?

    The continued “accidental” killing of medical staff, including Red Cross and Red Crescent workers, and journalists?

    The idea of turning off water and electricity from all of Gaza as a valid response?

    The escalation of illegal settlement and theft of Palestinian property and land in the West Bank, with IDF support no less?

    Or the use of the Hannibal Protocol against Israeli Civilians on October 8th by IDF forces?

    Or do you just not think it is incumbent on the one with greater power and strength to offer the olive branch first if peace is truly desires? And in fact would rather the Palestinian people are smeared across an enlarged Israel?
