Microsoft has confirmed its collaboration with the Israeli military in Gaza by providing AI and cloud services for hostage rescue missions. This partnership has sparked concerns regarding human rights violations and the ethical use of technology.

Recently, Microsoft revealed its involvement in offering advanced artificial intelligence and cloud computing services to the Israeli military during the Gaza conflict. The company stated that these services were utilized to assist in locating and rescuing Israeli hostages.

In a blog post, Microsoft mentioned that it supplied the Israeli military with software, professional services, Azure cloud storage, and Azure AI services, including language translation. The company reiterated that it exercised significant oversight by approving some requests while rejecting others, with the aim of saving lives of hostages while respecting the privacy and rights of civilians in Gaza.

Following an investigation by The Associated Press that shed light on Microsoft’s collaboration with the Israeli Ministry of Defence, concerns have been raised regarding the Israeli military’s use of Azure for intelligence processing and surveillance activities. This partnership has raised alarms among human rights organizations over the potential misuse of AI technology, which could lead to unintended casualties.

In response to these concerns, Microsoft initiated an internal review and hired an external firm to conduct further investigations. However, the company has refrained from disclosing detailed information about its involvement or clarifying how its AI models were employed by the Israeli military.

Experts have underscored the significance of Microsoft’s actions in setting a precedent for commercial technology companies regulating terms of usage for governments engaged in conflicts. Emelia Probasco, a senior fellow at Georgetown University, highlighted the unique situation where a company is dictating terms to a government actively involved in a conflict.

While some have praised Microsoft for moving towards transparency, others like Cindy Cohn, the executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, have raised questions about the specifics of the services and AI models utilized by the Israeli military. Cohn emphasized the importance of transparency in tech companies’ military contracts to ensure accountability and ethical use of technology.

The Gaza conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with a large number of civilian deaths, including women and children. Microsoft’s involvement in providing AI products to militaries reflects a growing trend in the tech industry, raising concerns about the implications of these technologies in conflict zones.
