Haiby was co-hosting a Build session on best security practices for Artificial intelligence (AI) with Microsoft’s responsible AI chief Sarah Bird when these two former Microsoft employees disrupted the talks in protest of the company’s cloud contracts with the Israeli government. This is the third consecutive day that the Microsoft Build 2025 conference has been disrupted by pro-Palestine protests.

On Monday, May 19, when Microsoft Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Satya Nadella took the stage for his keynote address at the Build 2025 conference, an employee interrupted the speech. He began chanting “Free Palestine” and demanded that the Chief Executive Officer be held accountable for the company’s work with the Israeli government.

The next day, May 20, a Palestinian tech worker interrupted Microsoft executive Jay Parikh’s keynote presentation, marking the second consecutive day of protests in support of Palestine at the event. “Jay! My people are suffering!” the protester shouted at Parikh, Microsoft’s executive vice president of CoreAI, during his presentation on Azure AI technology. “Break ties! No Azure for apartheid! Free, free Palestine!”

Security staff quickly escorted the protester out of the premises as he continued to demand Microsoft cancel its contracts with the Israeli government. Security staff promptly removed the demonstrator from the premises while he persisted in urging Microsoft to terminate its agreements with the Israeli government.
