💨 Abstract

Microsoft acknowledged selling AI and cloud computing services to the Israeli military during the Gaza war, aiding in hostage rescue efforts. The company claims no evidence of its technologies being used to harm civilians. This admission follows an Associated Press investigation revealing Microsoft's extensive partnership with Israeli defense, raising concerns from human rights groups about AI's role in targeting decisions. Microsoft's statement, prompted by employee and media concerns, includes limited details and no direct answers to specific usage questions.
