Protester Crashes Microsoft Copilot Keynote, Calls Out AI Military Ties
During a Microsoft keynote focused on Copilot, a protester interrupted to accuse the company of having 'blood on its hands' due to its reported sales of AI technology to the Israeli military. The protest highlighted Microsoft's alleged involvement in military operations that resulted in civilian casualties. Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft's Head of Consumer AI, acknowledged the protest but continued with the presentation. A second protest occurred later involving CEO Satya Nadella, coordinated by the No Azure for Apartheid movement. This marks a growing employee-driven backlash against the company's military partnerships.
