Subscribe to support more independent, anarchist journalism like this - few outlets are willing to report on this protest, and even fewer are willing to call out what Israel is doing to Gaza as a blatant genocide. Liberation for all, or liberation for none.

Others were part of a broad, BDS-led protest at the summit. AI researcher Adeba Birhane was a speaker at the event, and directly called out Israel's genocide. She was, however, censored for this, as discussed in her thread here -

Fortunately crimew and Freya were both released within hours. âWe are out, safe and alive,â crimew wrote on BlueSky hours later. Both activists were also promoting a larger protest outside the summit led by pro-Palestinian action group BDS, at which they also spoke, as revealed in Faeâs thread.

An independent survey found that at least over 80,000 Gazans have been murdered, with many more injured. These estimates do not account for the hundreds of thousands of displaced refugees, deaths this year and Gazans subject to starvation and disease owing to Israelâs blockade on aid.

Companies named as complicit include Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, and Google. These companies have been called out repeatedly for helping the IDF develop technologies used to directly assault Palestinians. âWe will not be silent in a genocide. You cannot be neutral in a genocide.â

âWhile the US and Europe provide the financial backing, Big Tech infrastructure actively enables the surveillance, the targeting and strategic erasure of the Palestinian people. This would not be possible without their assistance,â Freya says in the video.

"These companies sold these technologies to the most abhorrent military in the world without our consent" - Subramanian flew out from the United Kingdom to attend this event, opposing the blatant genocide enabled by his former employer.

While UN falls at BigTech's feet this is what their billionaire owners think of the UN. These are the "good" guys ??

The doublespeak in calling a conference
#AiForGood
and then censoring invited speakers for talking about ... *doing good* is kind of breathtaking.

This is unacceptable behaviour by ITU and the "AI for Good" organisers, not only as an aggressive action to inhibit academic freedom against Abeba, but specifically in service of an ongoing genocide where 'AI' is very much not being used 'for Good' by many of the summit funders and participants.

No tech for genocide protestors took the stage at the
#AIForGood
conference. âNo Tech For Genocide: you are all complicit. Free, free, Palestine.â âThe first AI powered genocide.â I donât really think that the hosts of the event were prepared for this, (which does surprise me).

(I think both the protest and the platform were appropriate. There is no argument that AI isnât playing a part in the current genocidal conflict being enacted by the nation of Israel in the Gaza war. Hopefully some people who have not thought about their role in enabling this will do so.)
