TECHNOLOGY/ISRAEL: Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli military has been making extensive use of cloud and AI services from Microsoft and its partner OpenAI, with the tech giant’s employees deployed to various units to support the deployment in Gaza, a joint investigation shows. Microsoft personnel work closely with units in the Israeli army to develop products and systems. From October 2023 to June 2024, the Israeli Ministry of Defense spent $10 million to purchase 19 hours of engineering support from Microsoft.
