Microsoft workers yesterday demanded that the company abort a $479 million contract providing the Army with HoloLens headsets, calling it a corruption of designers’ and engineers’ earlier work and an affront to those opposed to designing weapons for war.
In a letter addressed to Microsoft’s chief executive and its president, Microsoft Workers 4 Good, an organization of employees created at the end of January, also demanded that the company stop developing any weapons technologies, commit to an acceptable use policy for its products, and appoint an ethics board to audit that commitment.
