REDMOND, Washington — A pro-Palestinian protester interrupts the keynote event of Microsoft’s 50th anniversary celebration, the latest backlash over the tech industry’s work to supply artificial intelligence technology to the Israeli military.
The protest happens as Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman presents product updates and a long-term vision for the company’s AI assistant product, Copilot, to an audience that includes Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and former CEO Steve Ballmer.
“Mustafa, shame on you,” shouts a woman in the audience. “You claim that you care about using AI for good but Microsoft sells AI weapons to the Israeli military.”
Bruh 911 was like 20+ years ago. Nobody supports the hijackers. Nobody is protesting against them.
But the genocide in palestine is happening right now using technology from Microsoft.
Ok sure. Leave it as is. I can say it’s not interesting to me and I’d much rather see posts more deeply linked to technology and not politics here. I’m entitled to my own opinion. Let’s just leave it at that.
Lemmy has an even tighter hive-mind than Reddit.
