Microsoft has fired two employees who protested the company's work supplying AI technology to the Israeli military during its 50th anniversary celebration. The employees shouted accusations at Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, causing a pause in the event. The protests were in response to an investigation that revealed Microsoft and OpenAI's AI models were used in an Israeli military program to select bombing targets. Last year, Google fired employees who protested a contract with the Israeli government, and they later filed a complaint to regain their jobs.
