Amazon Shareholder Resolution Targets AI Work With Israel, DHS

Amazon.com Inc.’s business ties with Israel’s military and the US Department of Homeland Security are the focus of a shareholder proposal demanding that the company investigate whether such contracts comply with its responsible AI policies.

Filed by American Baptist Home Mission Societies and reviewed by Bloomberg, the resolution asks Amazon’s board to identify “instances of misalignment” between its internal standards and sales of artificial intelligence and cloud services.
