Google has removed an ethical commitment from its AI principles, sparking concerns that the company may pursue harmful applications, including military technology.

Google removed a key section from its AI principles, previously titled "AI Applications We Will Not Pursue." This section explicitly stated that the company would not develop technologies that could cause harm. According to archived versions of the page reviewed by Bloomberg, this commitment has now been deleted.
The change has raised alarms among AI ethics experts. Margaret Mitchell, former head of Google’s AI ethics team and chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face, criticized the move, saying: "Removing this commitment erases the work done by many in AI ethics and advocacy within Google. More dangerously, it signals that Google may now develop technologies that could directly lead to loss of life."
With ethical guidelines shifting, questions remain about how Google will navigate the evolving AI landscape—and whether this signals a broader industry shift toward prioritizing market dominance over ethical considerations. – Agencies
