Google has recently revised its AI principles, removing a ban on developing AI for military and surveillance purposes. This change was highlighted in a blog post by CEO Demis Hassabis and SVP James Manyika, emphasizing new guiding tenets that focus on innovation, responsible development, and collaboration. The move reflects a significant evolution in the company’s approach to AI ethics, which has historically conflicted with employee concerns about contributing to militarization and surveillance.
"We're committed to bold innovation that ensures AI benefits everyone, and that requires engagement with sectors that are currently exploring the intersection of AI and defense."
"Our updated principles allow us to engage with the advancement of AI technologies within various sectors, including those focused on security and defense."
