Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

Oh hey would you look at that. Guess Microsoft literally funds OpenAI so that OpenAI can spend money on Microsoft azure, which Microsoft then invests back into OpenAI. Microsoft just feeding itself cash, losing more every single time, for some reason. Amazing!
The companies are still negotiating the size of Microsoft’s stake in the revamped for-profit arm, according to the people who spoke to executives at both companies. Microsoft also wants future guarantees to use OpenAI’s technology, one of these people said. The companies continue to discuss how OpenAI will use Microsoft’s Azure cloud servers, one of the people said. OpenAI is one of Azure’s largest customers, and Microsoft told shareholders last month that the startup was a big driver of new Azure revenue in the most recent quarter

According to Globes, a Microsoft investigative team began work last month over concerns that the Israeli subsidiary was exposing the company to legal liability in Europe. The Azure servers used by the Israeli government to store surveillance data were based in Europe, potentially putting Microsoft at risk from scrutiny by EU regulators. After investigating Haimovich and his team, Microsoft ousted the GM and other, unnamed senior staff at the subsidiary. While the company searches for a new GM, Microsoft Israel has been placed under the management of Microsoft France.

Huh, didn't know that...
Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza which is why Microsoft is a now priority BDS target. Microsoft partners with the apartheid regime of Israel and its prison system. It provides the Israeli military with Azure cloud and AI services that are central to accelerating Israel’s genocide of 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip. After 34 years of deep complicity with Israel’s military, the Israeli army relies heavily on Microsoft to meet technological requirements of its genocide and apartheid regime.
