Google has lifted a ban on using artificial intelligence to harm humanity. It will now allow AI to be used to create weapons and mass surveillance tools for the ruling classes to use against others.
In 2018, Google established a set of AI principles in response to criticism over its involvement in military endeavors, such as a United States Department of Defense project. That military project involved the use of AI to process data and “identify targets for combat operations.” The original guidelines explicitly stated that Google would not design or deploy AI for use in weapons or technologies that cause or directly facilitate injury to people or for surveillance that violates internationally accepted norms, according to a report by RT.
But now they’ve backtracked. According to a report by The Washington Post, the tech giant has collaborated with the Israeli military since the early weeks of the Gaza war, competing with Amazon to provide artificial intelligence services. Shortly after the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Google’s cloud division worked to grant the Israel Defense Forces access to AI tools, despite the company’s public assertions of limiting involvement to civilian government ministries, the paper reported last month, citing internal company documents.

Several tech icons have warned about the dangers of AI to humanity. Geoffrey Hinton, a pioneering figure in AI and recipient of the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics, warned late last year that the technology could potentially lead to human extinction within the next three decades, a likelihood he sees as being up to 20%.
Hinton has warned that AI systems could eventually surpass human intelligence, escape human control, and potentially cause catastrophic harm to humanity. He has urged significant resources be allocated towards AI safety and ethical use of the technology and that proactive measures be developed.
Google has a long history of censorship and pushing the official narratives of the ruling class, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it has reversed course on this one.
