Google DeepMind UK staff move to unionise over military AI use
UK employees at Google’s AI lab DeepMind on Tuesday requested official recognition of two unions, as concern grows over the company’s technology being used by the US and Israeli militaries.
Workers requested recognition of the Communication Workers Union and Unite in a letter to management shared by the CWU on Tuesday.
“The unionising DeepMind workers are seeking an end to use of Google AI by Israel and the US military,” the CWU said in a statement.
