Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) has reportedly stated that it stands firm in its commitment to collaborate with the U.S. military despite the internal backlash.
Kent Walker, Alphabet’s president of global affairs, addressed the company’s employees in a memo. He said Google has long supported defense agencies “proudly” and remains committed to doing so responsibly, reported the Financial Times.
Walker acknowledged that AI tools are not suitable for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without proper human oversight. However, he affirmed that Google’s support for military uses of AI aligns with the approaches of other major AI labs.
Walker justified this stance by citing Google’s past involvement in classified government initiatives, including cybersecurity, diplomatic translation, and veterans’ healthcare, as per the report.
Alphabet did not immediately respond to Benzinga’s request for comments.
