[Regnum] Google has removed from its principles for the use of artificial intelligence a clause that does not allow such technologies to be used to develop weapons. This was reported on February 5 by the Bloomberg agency.
 ”Dear President Trump,
Please throw money at us! You should have plenty after the DOGE group gets through cleaning out current unnecessary spending, even if bunches of it came in our direction until a few days ago.
Your friends,
Google”
It is clarified that previously, in the section on restrictions on the use of AI, it was said that it was unacceptable to use technologies that “cause or may cause general damage,” including weapons, but now these words are gone.
When asked to comment on the situation, a Google spokesperson wrote in a blog post that democracies should be leaders in AI development, guided by core values such as freedom, equality, and respect for human rights.
“We believe that companies, governments, and organizations that share these values should work together to create AI that protects people, drives global growth, and supports national security,” the statement said.
Former Google AI Ethics Team Leader Margaret Mitchell told the publication that she was concerned about the company changing its principles for using these technologies. She noted that such a decision would nullify all the work done by AI ethicists and Google activists, and now the company could start creating technologies that will be capable of killing people.
As reported by IA Regnum, in February 2024, American businessman and multi-billionaire Elon Musk announced "insane racist" programming at Google. The entrepreneur made this statement after an incident with the generation of images by the company's Gemini neural network, which inaccurately depicted the race, ethnicity and gender of historical figures in response to user requests.
In early December, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out the importance of legal regulation of issues related to the use of AI. The head of state specified that it is necessary to ensure the effective use of all these opportunities for the development of the economy and social sphere, but at the same time to ensure the safety of our citizens and their rights, including the right to privacy.
