Explore Microsoft's acknowledgment of providing advanced artificial intelligence and cloud computing services to the Israeli military during the war in Gaza. The company stated it aided in efforts to locate and rescue Israeli hostages. However, Microsoft also claims it has found no evidence that its Azure platform and AI technologies were used to target or harm people in Gaza. This acknowledgment follows an AP investigation revealing details about Microsoft's partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, noting military use of commercial AI products increased significantly after Oct. 7, 2023. Microsoft stated it provided software, professional services, Azure cloud storage, Azure AI services (including language translation), and worked on cybersecurity. They also offered "special access" and "limited emergency support" for hostage rescue efforts. The company initiated an internal review and hired an external firm following employee concerns and media reports. Microsoft maintains that the Israeli military is bound by its policies prohibiting the use of products to inflict harm, and they found no evidence of violations. Critics and former employees have called for more transparency.
