The principles state that they will not make weapons. However the latest report I’ve seen states that their current contract for the military ends some time in 2019. [1]
So while google says it will not make weapons, it seems that for the next 6-18 months it will continue to do so.
Does anyone know when in 2019 the contact expires? It seems odd to come out with a pledge not to make weapons while continuing to make weapons (assuming that is what they are doing).
(Full disclosure, I am a contractor at an Alphabet company, but I don’t know much about project Maven. These are my own opinions.)
