Google Alters AI Ethics Policy, Removes Ban on Weapon Development

Google has quietly revised its artificial intelligence (AI) principles, removing its previous pledge against developing AI for weaponry. The policy shift signals a significant change in the tech giant’s stance on military applications of AI, raising ethical concerns among industry experts and advocacy groups.

The updated guidelines no longer include an explicit ban on weapon-related AI projects, a move critics see as opening the door for potential defense contracts and military partnerships. Google has yet to provide clarity on how it plans to navigate AI ethics moving forward.

As AI technology continues to evolve, the debate over its use in warfare intensifies, with watchdog groups urging greater transparency and accountability from corporations involved in defense-related AI advancements.
