TEHRAN – New revelations have exposed the deep involvement of US technology giants in aiding and abetting Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The Washington Post on Wednesday hinted that the first genocide enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) took place in Gaza, thanks to a collaboration between Google and Israel.
US media have revealed that Google employees have been working since the early weeks of the Israeli regime’s war on Gaza to provide the Israeli military with access to the company’s latest artificial intelligence technology.
Google employees say that if the company doesn’t quickly give the Israeli Ministry of War more access to its AI technology, the administration will turn to rival Amazon instead, according to documents obtained by the newspaper. He said he had warned him that it would happen. Google and Amazon both work with Israel under the Nimbus agreement.
Google and Amazon signed a multibillion-dollar joint deal with Israel in 2021.
The contract, known as Project Nimbus, was aimed at providing cloud computing infrastructure, AI and other technology services to the Israeli government and its military.
Washington Post: Despite growing anger over the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza, Google responds to request from Israeli military for more access to AI tools as it aims to compete with Amazon 2024 Earlier this year, the director of the Israeli government’s National Cyber Directorate told Nimbus: This contract directly supported Israeli combat applications.
According to Israeli media, Gabby Portnoy said, “Thanks to Nimbus’ public cloud, amazing things are happening during the battle. These things play an important role in the victory, but I won’t go into details.” he said.
A senior Israeli military official told The Washington Post in summer 2024 that the Israeli regime is making significant investments in new cloud technology, hardware and other back-end computing systems, much of it in partnership with U.S. companies. He said he is doing so.
The Israeli military is also testing technology from multiple companies as it explores potential applications for generative AI, the technology behind the recent rise of chatbots and other AI tools, US media reported, citing officials. I told him that I did.
Project Nimbus has drawn the ire of Google and Amazon employees. Last April, large-scale protests were held demanding that companies cancel their contracts due to Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip.
Google has an AI policy that commits it to not applying its technology to uses that harm people. However, in cooperation with Israel, the regime was able to carry out the first AI genocide in Gaza.
Meta, which owns and operates products and services such as Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp, has previously been accused of pro-Israel bias during the Gaza war.
The US-based technology company has come under fire for deleting posts about solidarity with Palestinians in the face of Israeli atrocities.
Not only did the United States provide unwavering military support to Israel in the Gaza war, its large technology companies also enabled the regime’s genocide.
A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas went into effect on Sunday, and the Gaza conflict appears to be over. Israel has killed more than 47,000 Palestinians in the conflict that began in October 2023.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, who was described as “Massacre Joe” for his complicity in Israeli atrocities, handed over the keys to the White House to Donald Trump.
Going forward, these keys will play a key role in facilitating Israel’s access to American technology and powering its killing machines.
