"AI for War: Big Tech Empowering Israel’s Crimes and Occupation" 26 October 2025

US technology giants present themselves as ethical innovators shaping a better world through artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing. Yet in Gaza, these narratives have collapsed.

  • Pursue divestment and sanctions against companies complicit in war crimes and systemic human-rights violations.
  • Leverage strategic litigation to hold corporate actors accountable for aiding and abetting atrocity crimes.
  • Build alliances among civil society groups, legal advocates, and tech workers to expose and disrupt militarized contracts.
  • Advance binding regulation of military AI to close governance gaps and prevent future corporate complicity.
