Google already holds a contract with the US Department of Defense on non-classified workloads.
Over 600 Google employees demanded Google reject a Pentagon deal involving classified military AI use.
KEY POINTS
- The proposed contract would extend Gemini AI into classified military settings, beyond current non-classified use.
- More than 20 directors and vice presidents at Google signed the protest letter to CEO Sundar Pichai.
- Employees argue proposed safeguards are unenforceable, as Pentagon policy prohibits external AI use controls.
- Google's new military AI push reverses its 2018 withdrawal from Pentagon contract Project Maven.
