A pro-Palestinian protest by Microsoft employees disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary celebration, protesting against Microsoft’s AI technology used in an Israeli military program for selecting bombing targets in Gaza. During the event, employee Ibtihal Aboussad accused Microsoft of complicity in violence, claiming the company contributes to ongoing genocide, while another employee, Vaniya Agrawal, also protested during the gathering attended by notable figures like Bill Gates and Satya Nadella. This follows earlier protests within Microsoft over its military contracts, amid rising casualties in Gaza due to the conflict.
