ATLANTA (AP) — El caso de una mujer embarazada en Georgia que fue declarada con muerte cerebral y ha sido mantenida con soporte vital durante tres meses ha suscitado preguntas complejas acerca de la ley de aborto y si un feto es una persona.
Adriana Smith, una enfermera y madre de 30 años, estaba embarazada de aproximadamente dos meses cuando el 19 de febrero fue declarada con muerte cerebral, según un recaudación de fondos online iniciada por su madre. Los médicos señalaron que la estricta ley antiaborto de Georgia exige que permanezca con soporte vital hasta que el feto se haya desarrollado lo suficiente como para nacer, escribió su madre.The statement also did not directly address several questions about precisely how the Israeli military is using its technologies, and the company declined Friday to comment further. Microsoft declined to answer written questions from The AP about how its AI models helped translate, sort and analyze intelligence used by the military to select targets for airstrikes.
The company’s statement said it had provided the Israeli military with software, professional services, Azure cloud storage and Azure AI services, including language translation, and had worked with the Israeli government to protect its national cyberspace against external threats. Microsoft said it had also provided “special access to our technologies beyond the terms of our commercial agreements” and “limited emergency support” to Israel as part of the effort to help rescue the more than 250 hostages taken by Hamas on Oct. 7.“We provided this help with significant oversight and on a limited basis, including approval of some requests and denial of others,” Microsoft said. “We believe the company followed its principles on a considered and careful basis, to help save the lives of hostages while also honoring the privacy and other rights of civilians in Gaza.”
