A recent Washington Post report reveals that Google has provided significant support to Israel during its conflict with Hamas, working closely with its military and defense ministry. Internal documents unveil requests from Google employees for increased access to AI tools, including the $1.2 billion Nimbus cloud contract initiated in 2021. As the war escalated, employees advocated for enhanced access to AI technologies to bolster Israeli military capabilities, despite ongoing protests from within the company. This contradiction highlights the tensions between employees’ ethical concerns and corporate interests in defense contracts.
