AI Fuels Biometric Data Misuse Concerns Globally: Microsoft's AI Platform and Anduril's Defense Drones Raise Red Flags

Published on 4.12.25

  The increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) has raised significant concerns over biometric data privacy and its potential misuse globally. Aboussad's experience at Microsoft's AI Platform highlights the issue of tech employees being unaware that their work is being repurposed for defense applications, as seen with Palmer Luckey's company Anduril, which develops defense drones and technology. The use of AI in warfare raises concerns about operators relying too heavily on the technology without reviewing its accuracy. For instance, Microsoft's AI Platform was sold to the Israeli military and government for spying purposes, including targeting journalists, doctors, aid workers, and civilians. This incident underscores the need for stricter regulations on companies' use of biometric data and greater transparency in AI development. The US government is also using AI technology to scan social media accounts for potential terrorist sympathies, tightening scrutiny on foreign nationals.
