At the Microsoft-sponsored conference "ETHICS AND TECH CONFERENCE 2025: GOVERNING AI" held at Seattle University, a protester disrupts and ultimately STOPS Mike Jackson from delivering his conference opening statement!

The protester calls out the hypocrisy of celebrating Microsoft's ethics as it actively powers genocide in Gaza. He reiterated Microsoft's relationship with Israel and the absurdity of sponsoring a conference centered around ethical AI while profiting off of apartheid and genocide

How is Microsoft's AI safe, transparent, and contributing to "human flourishing" while it continues to be used to bomb Palestinians in Gaza?

The protester also highlighted the continuous attempts to silence workers by suppressing internal communications mentioning Palestine and genocide

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! IOF OFF AZURE! NO TECH WEAPONS FOR GENOCIDE! DIGITAL ARMS EMBARGO NOW!

Mike Jackson reports directly to Microsoft’s Chief Responsible AI Officer. He is a manager within the Office of Responsible AI and, in his own words, supports "AI innovation... by ensuring AI is safe, transparent, and contributes to human flourishing." Mike Jackson, we ask you:

Despite the crackdown and censorship of workers, you cannot silence us! The demands are clear: Satya Nadella and Microsoft executives need to answer to their workers by dropping contracts with the Israeli military and cutting ties with apartheid and genocide!

Well spoken, respect him big time. Wonder what’s his name and can we follow him somewhere.

@TrackAIPAC Microsoft-sponsored conference "ETHICS AND TECH" That is just hilarious. Laughing till I cry.

@TrackAIPAC What a wonderful and courageous man.👏👏👏👏👏

Hero. Every word is true. The hypocrisy is staggering. I would just have added a simple comparison - do you think it would be OK to do business with the RSF? WITH THE NAZIS? If not, then why on earth is it OK to do business with Israel?
