But the company also said it has not found evidence of date that its azure techniques and AI technologies are used to target or damage people in Gaza.
theUnsigned blog postOn Microsoft’s Microsoft website see the first public recognition of the public in the deep involvement in the war, beginning after Hamas died of thousands of thousands in Gaza.
It will take approximately three months after a Investigation of Associated Press Previously unknown details about the close association with the American Tech Giant in Israel’s defense, used to attack commercial AI 7, 2023, Hamas attack. AP reports that Israeli military uses azure to transcribe, interpret and process intelligence accumulating by monitoring Israeli-targeted masses.
The association shows a growing driving of tech companies to sell their artificial intelligence products for a wide range of goods, including Israel, Ukraine and the United States. However human rights groups produce concerns that AI systems, which can be mistaken and attracted to errors, used to make decisions of who or what don’t make up the decisions.
Microsoft said Thursday that employee concerns and media reports prompted the company to launch an internal review and hiring of an external company to make “more truth.” The statement does not indicate external company or provides a copy of its report.
The statement also does not directly discuss many questions about exactly how the military uses Israel, and the company refuses to conversation. Microsoft refuses to respond to written questions from the AP about how AI models have helped translate, analyzing the intelligence used by the targets of airstrikes.
The assidiveness of the company has given it to the military of Israel with software, professional services, aircraft services that protect national cyberspace against the outer cyberspace against its outdoor threats. Microsoft also told the “special access to our technologies more than the terms of our commercial approval” and “limited effort to help Hamas on October 7.
“We give this help with a lot of handling and on a limited basis, including approval of some requests and refusal to others,” Microsoft said. “We believe that the company adheres to its principles in a considered and careful basis, to help save hostages while also honoring civilians in Gaza.”
The company has not answered if it or the external company hired to speak or consulting Israeli military as part of its internal examination. It also did not respond to requests for more details about the special help of Israel’s military assistance to recover hostages or specific steps to protect Palestinians.
In its statement, the company also believes it is “there is no visibility of how customs used our software on their own servers or other devices.” In addition to the company not knowing how products are available through other Cloud commercial providers.
In addition to Microsoft, Israeli military has many contracts for cloud services or AI Mobile,, AmazonPalantir and many other major American tech companies.
Microsoft said the military of Israel, like any other customer, followed by the companyAccepted policy of useandAI code of behaviorto prohibit the use of products to harm in any way forbidden by law. In its statement, the company said it was found that “no evidence” was the military of Israel who violated the terms.
Emelia Probasco, a senior partner for the center for security and emergent technologies in Georgetown University, says the technology statement for the world’s company of international governments.
“We are in a wonderful moment where a company, is not a government, is to dictate the terms available to a government who is actively competing with a conflict,” he said. “It’s like a tank manufacturer that tells a country you can only use our tanks for specific reasons. That’s a new world.”
Israel used the amount of wisdom of two targets of Islamic militant and Gaza management that seeks to save hostages, which are often taken by the crossfire. For example, an operation of February 2024 thatIsrael’s two hostages are released in Rafahresulted in the death of 60 Palestinians. A June 2024Nuseirat Refugee camp attackIsrael’s four hostages were released from Hamas captivity but resulted in death of at least 274 Palestinians.
Overall, the invasion of Israel and many Gaza and Lebanon bombing campaigns have resulted in death of more than 50,000 people, most women and children.
No azure for apartheid, a group of current and former Microsoft employees, called Friday for the company to publicly release a perfect copy of the report’s investigation.
“It is very clear that their purpose in this statement is not actually responding to their workers’ concerns, but to make a fruit in their relationship,” said Hossam Nasr, a former Microsoft workershot in OctoberAfter he helped organize an unauthorized vigil by the company’s headquarters for Palestinians killed in Gaza.
Cindy Cohn, Executive Director of Electronic Frontier Foundation, Microsoft Friday is placed Friday to take steps to transparency. But he said that the statement caused many unanswered questions, including details about how Microsoft and AI services were Israel’s models.
“I’m glad to have a little transparency here,” says Cohn, long ago with tech tech giants to open their military contracts open. “But it’s hard to connect with what is actually happening on the ground.”
