Google Will Not Renew Project Maven Military Drone AI Contract
Google announced it will not renew its contract for Project Maven, a Pentagon program using AI to analyse drone imagery. The decision followed internal protests, with nearly a dozen employees resigning and thousands signing a letter declaring Google should not be in the business of war. The company will continue work until March 2019 but has not ruled out future military AI contracts.
