Google will not renew a contract to do artificial intelligence work for the US Pentagon, company sources say. The so-called Project Maven had riled Google employees, including several who quit and thousands of others who signed a petition asking CEO Sundar Pichai to cancel the project and enact a policy renouncing the use of Google technology in warfare.
Google reports that they will not renew a contract with the U.S. military to develop machine learning algorithms for drones.
