| Google employees didn't join to build weapons. Google lied to them about the nature of Project Nimbus, saying it was just for civilian use. This was proven to be a lie: https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-mini... Google has a set of AI principles: https://ai.google/responsibility/principles/ These include: > AI applications we will not pursue > In addition to the above objectives, we will not design or deploy AI in the following application areas: > 1. Technologies that cause or are likely to cause overall harm. Where there is a material risk of harm, we will proceed only where we believe that the benefits substantially outweigh the risks, and will incorporate appropriate safety constraints. > 2. Weapons or other technologies whose principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people. > 3. Technologies that gather or use information for surveillance violating internationally accepted norms. > 4. Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights. The contract goes against those principles. Employees rightfully speak out about this and stonewalled. |
