BREAKING: Google provided Israel with AI technology which was used in Gaza and the West Bank.
According to a report published by The Washington Post, based on internal documents, it was revealed that Google provided the Israeli military with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies at the onset of the Gaza war.
Details from the documents:
•The internal documents disclosed that Google has been assisting the Israeli Ministry of Defense and military since 2021.
•A Google employee requested granting the Israeli military access to Google’s AI technology, “Gemini,” noting that failing to provide this access might push the Israeli military to turn to Amazon for technical support.
•Over 100 Google employees called for a review of the company’s relationship with the Israeli military, but these demands were ignored by the company.
Also according to previous reports by The NewYork Times and The Verge:
Internal documents reveal that Google officials, including lawyers and consultants, raised concerns about potential human rights violations before signing the $1.2 billion Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli government. These concerns focused on the misuse of Google Cloud services in the West Bank, but the deal proceeded despite recommendations to limit AI tool sales to the Israeli military.
The contract includes advanced AI tools for image and video analysis, videoconferencing, and data processing, with $525 million stemming from a sub-contract with Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Recent tensions in Gaza have intensified internal protests against the project, resulting in the termination of approximately 50 Google employees. Despite maintaining that the contract aligns with acceptable use policies, reports indicate that specific terms were adjusted for this deal.
