Project "Maven" - Participation of Google in US drone assassination program

Google Is Helping the Pentagon Build AI for Drones

Google’s AI is being used by US military drone programme

"Google’s TensorFlow AI systems are being used by the US Department of Defense’s (DoD) Project Maven, which was established in July last year to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to analyse the vast amount of footage shot by US drones. The initial intention is to have AI analyse the video, detect objects of interest and flag them for a human analyst to review."

Disaster for humanity:

"Google own most of our data, and I don't want the Pentagon having my data."

"permitting machines to determine who or what to target on the battlefield, points to numerous problems, including ethical and legal."

Thousands of Google Employees Protest Company's Involvement in Pentagon AI Drone Programe

"A Department of Defense partnership has drawn ire from the Google’s employees, and thousands have now signed a petition urging CEO Sundar Pichai to shut it down." "We believe that Google should not be in the business of war. Therefore we ask that Project Maven be cancelled, and that Google draft, publicize and enforce a clear policy stating that neither Google nor its contractors will ever build warfare technology."
