BREAKING: Pro-Palestine activists have disrupted a presentation by Werner Vogels, Amazon vice president and Chief Technology Officer, at the UN’s “AI for Good” summit in Switzerland. Palestinian civil society strongly condemns the UN International Telecommunication Union’s shameful partnership with criminal tech companies in this summit, particularly Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, and IBM. In providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli war ministry, these companies are deeply complicit in Israel's military occupation, apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians. Project Nimbus, the joint $1.22 billion contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021, provides cloud and AI tech services to the Israeli government and the Israeli military. It enables the Israeli military to run deadly AI programs such as Lavender and Gospel — crucial to its ongoing, livestreamed genocide in Gaza. We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to end all UN partnership and contracts with these and similarly complicit corporations, and on Amazon and Google to drop their genocidal Project Nimbus.

Human rights activists storm the stage and disrupt the UN’s “AI for Good” summit to call out big tech’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians. The UN still contracts, partners with, and platforms tech giants Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco and IBM, as they sell AI for Israel’s atrocity crimes. #NoTechForGenocide #NoAIForGenocide

Emerging technologies are reshaping how we live & work, and the General Assembly has responded by establishing the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance; a process led by España en la ONU & Costa Rica @ the UN. Resolution A/RES/79/325 positions the UN as the central forum for international AI cooperation and validates its role as the legitimate institution for governing transformative technologies inclusively, by and for the benefit of all.

Like AG Dana Nessel said, when the federal government refuses to regulate AI and keeps the same CEOs who fight against any sensible regulations too close, it’s on states like Michigan to step up to lead.

The CEOs of AI companies are telling us 25-50% of all jobs could be replaced by AI. Job disruption is already happening, and we can’t afford to wait to respond. Let’s tax companies for their AI usage and use those funds to build robust apprenticeship programs to ensure we protect the career ladder, and expand the social safety net to ensure nobody gets left behind.

THIS IS HUGE MORAL MOMENT… Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, is focused on AI ethics, human dignity, labor displacement, and regulating artificial intelligence. And the Vatican chose to partner with Anthropic, currently in a major legal fight with the Trump administration over AI safety and military use of its technology. Anthropic has publicly resisted pressure around autonomous warfare systems and built its brand around AI safety and “constitutional AI.” The Church is signaling that AI isn’t just a tech issue. It’s a moral, political, and civilization-level fight now.
