Google Project Maven: Δώδεκα εργαζόμενοι της Google παραιτήθηκαν από την εταιρεία γιατί δεν συμφωνούσαν με το σχέδιο ανάπτυξης AI για τον Αμερικάνικο Στρατό, μέσω ενός προγράμματος που ονομάζεται Project Maven. Εν τω μεταξύ άλλοι 4.000 άλλοι υπέγραψαν μια αίτηση που απαιτεί τη attitude of work in the specific project.
The slogan “Do not Be Evil"Does not appear to be the case in this case as Google is reportedly preparing to develop machine learning systems to enhance the United States war machine.
For those who are wondering: No Goggle isn't making killer robots, and it won't be developing weapons for them government, according to Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene. But it will help the military configure TensorFlow to be able to analyze videos taken by drones.
Η online report which has more than 4.000 signatures, disputes the claims of company leaders and probably does not make a mistake:
Recently, Google employees expressed their concerns and concerns about the Maven project. Diane Greene responded, assuring them that the technology would not "work to fly aircraft" and "would not be used for launching weapons". Although this eliminates a small part of immediate applications, the technology is built for the military and will be used to assist in these tasks.
We can not know if Project Maven will or may not go on, but what we are sure about is that Google will not be back because 12 employees have left.
After all, no one is irreplaceable, especially for companies of Google's scope. A positive reframing from the company (don't laugh there's a chance we'll hear this too) is that we teach the military how to uses open source software.
