Google, enormously rich and influential tech company, will not work for the Department of Defense of the United States. It sounds like a decision based on the moral disapproval of several thousand employees, a judgment of an ethical nature.
But Google does similar work (relating to artificial intelligence) for the military of China.
Is working to aid the Chinese military okay, but working for the American military is not?
Jeff Bezos has an opinion: big tech should not turn its back on America's defense.
(cont'd tomorrow)
