According to foreign media reports, Google and the US Department of Defense cooperation project Maven project caused a heated debate within it, one to support cooperation with the US Department of Defense, the other does not support cooperation with the US Department. It was finally decided that when the current agreement expires next year, it will no longer renew an artificial intelligence contract with the US Department of Defense.
Earlier, foreign media reported that an internal petition called for Google to reject the "war business" and was signed by thousands of employees. Some employees allegedly resigned and protested against the company's cooperation with the US military. According to related plans, Google is helping the US Department of Defense to implement machine learning to classify images collected by drones. But some employees believe that human beings should be responsible for this sensitive and potentially deadly work, and Google should not be involved in military projects.
Google’s termination of cooperation next year may be that the contract value of this project is less than 10 million US dollars. As the world’s most powerful commercial company, this profit is negligible, and the military war technology is not the original intention of Google’s business. It will no longer renew a contract with the US Department of Defense for artificial intelligence.
Although the cooperation is terminated, if artificial intelligence technology is applied to war weapons, it may be the general trend. What do you think of the future of mankind?
