Paul Biggar claims tech giants provide AI for Israel's Gaza operations

Paul Biggar, founder of Tech for Palestine, stated at the TRT World Forum in Istanbul that major technology companies are providing artificial intelligence tools used in Israel's military operations in Gaza. Biggar alleged that these systems are being utilized for both warfare and propaganda to influence public opinion.

Biggar identified Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Palantir as companies whose responsibility should be questioned regarding the technologies provided to the Israeli military. He noted that the Israeli army uses specific systems, such as Lav, for targeting.

To counter what he described as pro-Israel influence operations, Tech for Palestine is supporting alternative platforms. These include Upscrolled, an alternative to Meta's social media platforms, and Thauara AI, an artificial intelligence startup founded by Syrian refugees that focuses on human rights and equality principles rather than Western-centric approaches.
