About a dozen Google employees are resigning in protest over the tech giant’s involvement in Project Maven, a controversial military program that uses artificial intelligence, Gizmodo reports.
Project Maven, which harnesses AI to improve drone targeting, has been a source of concern for a number of Google employees. Last month, over 3,100 Google workers signed a letter addressed to the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, asking him to pull the tech giant out of the project.
Announced last year, Project Maven is designed to swiftly pull important data from vast quantities of imagery.
GOOGLE EMPLOYEES PLEAD WITH CEO TO DROP OUT OF PENTAGON AI PROJECT
The resigning employees’ concerns range from ethical worries about the use of AI in drone warfare to qualms about Google’s political decisions and a potential erosion of user trust, according to Gizmodo.

Leftist surrendering jobs...
Never a dull moment in the Leftist comedy of errors.
Bye biotches.
And what of the terrorists who use Google earth views (from above and street views) to plot terrorist attacks?
Only concern about the Pentagon using the technology?
Are these US workers? “East Asian”?
Skynet is here. hide john Connor and Sara Connor.

US CITIZENS PLEAD WITH PENTAGON TO PUT THOSE GOOGLE EMPLOYEES THROUGH MARINE BASIC TRAINING...
Or just throw their goat-smelling butts out of the USA, without a passport. Maybe Venezuela will take them (the zoo animals are already eaten).
Author used the words “ethical” and “google” in the same sentence - and without a hint of irony.
Google CEO is India ancestry and he is not protesting this project.
F-off Libtards. Obama was the King of Drones and openly was gleeful with ordering drone strikes even assassinating an American who joined Al-Qaeda. If Clinton were the Queen, there would be no concern and she would be using drones just as much as Obama. This is just more hate Trump.
What? You want to throw out America born democrats to Venezuela? Most liberals infesting California and especially the SF area and silicon valley are white, Us born, democrats, and anti-American.
I spent 12 years living in WA state. It is not as bad as CA, but 90% of white people I met were democrats. That includes the folks at a private golf club named Orchard Hills CC.
Yea, instead go help China insert backdoor methods into your home listen device installed by foolish Americans who don’t think it’s a problem. Let me tell ya, Alexa, Google, Siri, these are all dangerous!
They must think they are indispensable or something. No, Skynet will go on without them. This won't slow anything down.
I don't care what color they are, if they are socialists, they need to go to a socialist country. On second thought, I would prefer to throw out the white socialists. They are the most annoying.
These AIA-holes would never support our military who provides the conditions for their good life. When would any liberal defend this country? Never. If the Chinese military landed on our shores they would welcome them with open arms saying “see those mean conservatives over there? Get them!”
AI, probably the most apt name for this bunch.
How exactly would my privacy be compromised or threatened?
This might be a good time again to wonder why the alphabet (so-called "security") federal agencies do not have automatic and mandatory years long jail sentences for violating the privacy of citizens, not arraigned (legally) on the record or convicted of felonies. The penalty for infiltrators for foreign countries shall be death within 30 days of conviction.
No one in the chain of command can be immune from the penalties in the law. For treasonous citizens, forfeiture of job, retirement benefits and all assets should be automatic upon conviction, in addition to jail time..
