Five Microsoft employees were removed during a company town hall meeting after staging a protest against the company’s contracts supplying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing services to the Israeli occupation military.
The demonstration took place on Monday, following an Associated Press (AP) investigation that revealed Microsoft and OpenAI’s advanced AI models had been utilised by the Israeli occupation military to select bombing targets in recent attacks against Gaza and Lebanon.
Many Microsoft employees are on Visas. So they can’t really risk losing their jobs as they’d risk deportation. I suspect this is one of the reasons why big tech companies hire so many workers on visas tbh.
