600 Google staff urge CEO to reject classified military AI contract
More than 600 Google employees demanded Monday that the company reject a proposed Pentagon deal that would allow its artificial intelligence technology to be deployed in classified military operations, a statement said. Google already holds a contract with the US Department of Defense on non-classified workloads through a program known as genAI.mil, and the proposed new deal would extend Gemini's capabilities into classified domains.
