Around 200 employees have signed a letter calling for Google to drop contracts with military organizations.

The letter was sent out as internal concerns began circulating within the AI lab that the tech was allegedly being sold to military organizations via cloud contracts.

Google purchased DeepMind back in 2014 under the promise that its AI technology would never be used for military or surveillance purposes.
