An AI engineer at Google's DeepMind has resigned in protest of the company's work with U.S. and Israeli militaries, according to Democracy Now!, citing what the engineer characterizes as Google's complicity in the Gaza genocide. The resignation is part of a broader wave of dissent among tech workers at the AI unit over military partnerships.
Several DeepMind staff have now quit over the same concerns, signaling growing internal friction within Google's artificial intelligence division over defense contracts and their geopolitical implications.
