微軟員工抗議以色列人工智能合約後被解僱

根據一個代表員工的組織報導,微軟解僱了兩名在公司50周年慶祝活動中打斷演講以抗議其向以色列軍方提供人工智能(AI)技術的員工。

微軟在週一的解僱信中指責其中一名員工的行為是「旨在獲得知名度並對這個備受期待的活動造成最大干擾的行為」。

微軟表示,另一名員工已提前宣布辭職,但在週一被要求提前五天離開。

抗議活動是在週五開始的,當時微軟軟件工程師Ibtihal Aboussad走上舞台,當時一位高管正在宣布新產品特性及微軟的長期AI願景。

Aboussad對微軟AI首席執行官Mustafa Suleyman大喊:「你們聲稱關心善用AI,但微軟卻向以色列軍方出售AI武器。」她指出「五萬人已經喪生,微軟在我們地區助長了這場種族滅絕」。

這場抗議事件迫使Suleyman在微軟位於華盛頓州雷德蒙德的校園進行的直播演講中暫停。他的演講中,有微軟聯合創始人比爾·蓋茨和前首席執行官史蒂夫·巴爾默等參與者。

微軟表示,Suleyman冷靜地試圖平息事態,他回應說:「謝謝你的抗議,我聽到了。」

Aboussad繼續高喊,指責Suleyman和「微軟所有人」都沾染了血腥。她還將一條頭巾扔到舞台上,這條頭巾已成為支持巴勒斯坦人民的象徵,隨後被保安帶出活動現場。

第二名抗議者微軟員工Vaniya Agrawal在活動的後半段也打斷了演講。

立即被解僱

Aboussad在微軟位於多倫多的加拿大總部工作,根據反對微軟向以色列出售Azure雲計算平台的倡導組織No Azure for Apartheid的報導,她在週一與人力資源代表的通話中被告知立即被解僱。

美聯社早前的調查顯示,微軟和OpenAI的AI模型曾在以色列軍方的計劃中用於選擇轟炸目標,涉及最近在加沙和黎巴嫩的戰爭。

報導還提到2023年一次錯誤的以色列空襲,擊中一輛載有黎巴嫩家庭成員的車輛,造成三名年輕女孩和她們的祖母喪生。

在解僱信中,微軟告訴Aboussad,她本可以向經理私下提出擔憂。

然而,微軟表示,她對Suleyman和公司的指控是「敵意的、無端的和極不恰當的」,並指出她的「行為如此激進和擾亂,以至於必須由保安帶出房間」。

Agrawal已提前兩週通知辭職,原定於4月11日離開公司,但在週一時,經理發送電子郵件告知微軟「決定立即生效你的辭職」。

以色列的抗議活動歷史

這次抗議活動是微軟與以色列合作的最公開但並非第一次抗議。二月時,五名微軟員工因抗議合約而被驅逐出與首席執行官Satya Nadella的會議。

微軟在週五的一份聲明中表示:「我們提供了多種途徑讓所有聲音被聽見。」

「重要的是,我們要求這樣做不會造成業務干擾。如果發生此情況,我們要求參與者重新安置。我們致力於確保我們的商業行為遵循最高標準。」

微軟在週五未透露是否會採取進一步行動,但在抗議後,Aboussad和Agrawal都失去了進入工作賬戶的權限。

去年,數十名谷歌員工因對其與以色列政府的合約進行內部抗議而被解僱。

在紐約和加州的谷歌辦公室內,員工進行了靜坐抗議,針對一項價值12億美元的合約,該合約名為Project Nimbus,旨在向以色列政府提供AI技術。

谷歌員工後來向全國勞動關係委員會提出申訴,試圖恢復工作。

這一事件再一次引發了對科技公司在政治和道德責任方面的討論。微軟和其他科技巨頭在與政府機構的合作中,如何平衡商業利益與社會責任,無疑是未來需要深入探討的議題。員工的抗議行為不僅反映了他們對企業道德的堅持,也可能成為其他科技公司員工發聲的催化劑。
