>>> AI applications for weapons and technologies that "gather or use information for surveillance," Couldn't be more ironic. Google's core business is surveillance and serving ads - all aided by ai. This whole thing is a joke - a bunch of know-it-all overrated and overpayed jerks pretending to know what's best for the world/country. Why and how is it assumed that they know better than lawmakers, government officials and security agencies? At the very least, this is a vote of no-confidence against the very institutions and people instilled to defend the country and further it's interests!! When Motorola was acquired by Google, plenty of googlers commented on how much more smarter the average Googler was. And how the new genius Google upper brass world turn Motorola into a money making machine. However, they failed miserably at building and selling good hardware, and that struggle continues to this day through their pixel, Nexus and HTC devices. So - a bunch of cocky software engineers couldn't even build and sell better phones, why'd they be right on national security?
