During Microsoft's 50th anniversary event, Indian-American software engineer Vaniya Agrawal confronted CEOs Satya Nadella, Bill Gates, and Steve Ballmer, accusing them of complicity in the deaths of 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza through Microsoft's technology. Labeling Microsoft a "digital weapons manufacturer," she criticized a purported $133 million contract with Israel's Ministry of Defense and the use of AI and Azure technologies in military operations. Agrawal announced her resignation, urging colleagues to hold the company accountable. Earlier, employee Ibtihal Aboussad similarly protested against AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, accusing him of war profiteering. (PC: CNET & Mint)
