Comment on Microsoft says it provided AI to Israeli military for war but denies use to harm people in Gaza

The company did not answer whether it or the outside firm it hired communicated or consulted with the Israeli military as part of its internal probe.

In its statement, the company also conceded that it “does not have visibility into how customers use our software on their own servers or other devices.” The company added that it could not know how its products might be used through other commercial cloud providers.

Microsoft said the Israeli military, like any other customer, was bound to follow the company’s Acceptable Use Policy and AI Code of Conduct, which prohibit the use of products to inflict harm in any way prohibited by law. In its statement, the company said it had found “no evidence” the Israeli military had violated those terms.

Those three quotes stick out to me as proof that they are pleading ignorance.

Forbid access and fact-find some more Microsoft or stop pretending that you aren’t complicit in AI being used for harm.
