Hundreds of activists staged a protest outside the UN's “AI for Good” summit in Geneva demanding: No AI for genocide and war crimes.

The UN’s partnership with tech companies enabling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza is: UNethical UNlawful UNacceptable

By providing cloud infrastructure and AI technologies to the Israeli military, UN tech partners Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco, Oracle, Palantir and IBM are deeply complicit in Israel’s regime of apartheid and genocide against Indigenous Palestinians.

Israel’s is the first AI powered genocide.

We call for global pressure on the UN and its member States to take the below actions.

AI’s impact on human rights is not limited to Palestinians. But as the “test subjects” for militarized technologies exported globally and as survivors of Israel’s ongoing, AI-assisted genocide, Palestinians are a canary in the coal mine warning the world of the catastrophic future of weaponized AI.
