Google removed a pledge to not build AI for weapons or surveillance from its website this week. The change was first spotted by Bloomberg. The company appears to have updated its public AI principles page, erasing a section titled “applications we will not pursue,” which was still included as recently as last week.


Asked for comment, the company pointed TechCrunch to a new blog post on “responsible AI.” It notes, in part, “we believe that companies, governments, and organizations sharing these values should work together to create AI that protects people, promotes global growth, and supports national security.”

They can't make proper phones. Wonder what sort of weapons they'll make. Any problem will be sent to AI chat bots.

I remember there being protests from employees over this change some time ago.

Since Google's motto from the start was 'to do no harm'

Japan was into robots for very long time, much before other countries.
Unfortunately they didn't even have enough robots capable of salvaging Fukushima nuclear reactor after tsunami crisis.
Meanwhile, USA was able to provide robots for the purpose. USA initially had robots used even in Afgan caves.
