Rebellion at Google after ending military contracts The departure of several prominent researchers from Google's artificial intelligence unit, DeepMind, in protest of the company's military cooperation with the Pentagon, intensified the controversy over the use of artificial intelligence in military operations. Google's contract with the US Department of Defense provides the possibility to use the company's artificial intelligence models in secret military networks; While over 600 Google employees previously sent a letter to the CEO of the company, asking to avoid this collaboration. Although Google has banned the use of artificial intelligence in autonomous weapons and mass surveillance without proper human control, critics say the company lacks the ability to monitor or veto operational government decisions. At the same time, the integration of artificial intelligence companies' technology into the Maven military system, developed by Palantir, raised concerns about the role of these technologies in identifying targets and making military decisions.
