A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.
“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide.

Legend.
She’ll probably get fired, deported to Palestine, and ultimately killed by her own code, but she did the right thing.
Legend indeed. I have nothing else to add but need to express my support.
Unless people will listen to the entire history and others will follow
Her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibtihalaboussad
Nearly 4 years in AI at M$. PhD from Harvard. She’s got a lot more to lose than the rest of us
edit: I have no idea where or why I thought she had a PhD
EDIT: LINKEDIN TOOK DOWN HER PROFILE
“Nearly 4 years in AI at M$. PhD from Harvard. She’s got a lot more to lose than the rest of us”
She has a BSc in Computer Science. There’s no mention of a PhD on her LinkedIn.
Looks like you’re right, edited my comment
Guess what’s owned by Microsoft
She does?
Proud of her.
We need more brave people like her. 👍
Braver than the troops.
Extremely low bar but true
I hate FAAMG with my whole heart.
I thought it was MANGA now
Last I heard they were being called MAMAA now, meaning Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet.
Ooooooooooo
Any way the wind blows
Damn she got some balls
We need to start a fund to make people like this comfortable for the rest of their lives
