Research engineer Sofia Liguori resigned from Google DeepMind in protest of Google's work with the U.S. and Israeli militaries, including Project Nimbus and a classified Pentagon AI contract announced in April. She says internal posts were deleted and her concerns went nowhere. Google says it reviews public-sector deals against its AI principles. She is reportedly one of several DeepMind staff who have left over ethical concerns.
Should AI researchers get a say in how their work is used, or is that the employer's call?
